Malignant Extra-Renal Rhabdoid Tumor : EMA

Malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor frequently shows co-expression of epithelial, mesenchymal, and neural markers. The tumor cells are usually positive for vimentin, cytokeratin, and EMA (focally positive in this case). Markers such as muscle specific actin, smooth muscle actin, CD99, CD57, synaptophysin, and S-100 protein are occasionally expressed.
