Rhabdoid Carcinoma Online Journals

Primary rhabdoid lung tumor is a rare histological and clinical entity. Its histological and biological characteristics have not been fully documented. Lung tumors with rhabdoid characteristics have been included as variants of large cell carcinoma in the 1999 WHO classification of lung tumors. [1] We have located 38 reports of cases of primary rhabdoid lung tumor in the English literature [Table 1]. These tumors are characterized histologically by the presence of typical rhabdoid cells, which are large cells with an abundant cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei with central macronucleoles; moreover, these cells have a rounded eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion. These tumors behave aggressively and, in most of the reported cases, clinical course has shown rapid progression and early death. Despite an extensive literature search, we were unable to find another case report from India. We present our experience of treating a case of primary rhabdoid lung tumor.
