Image Description
Rhabdoid Tumor of Kidney: The prototypic appearance consists of somewhat monomorphic population of high-grade malignant cells arranged in diffuse sheets. The characteristic intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions result in plasmacytoid or rhabdomyosarcomatoid appearance in tumor cells. Rhabdoid tumor is highly aggressive with poor prognosis. Mortality is over 75%.
