Background:
Rhabdoid tumor is an aggressive, malignant renal neoplasm of infants. Many extrarenal sites have been documented.
Case:
A poorly differentiated carcinoma of the ovary with rhabdoid features occurred in a 36-year-old woman. The peritoneal fluid contained numerous malignant cells with rhabdoid features. Electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry corroborated the rhabdoid nature of the cells.
Conclusion:
Rhabdoid cells can be distinguished from other neoplasms with similar cytologic features by ancillary studies and clinical history.
