Abstract EN

Malignant rhabdoid tumors were originally described in children.

Subsequently, the same histological pattern was described in adults.

Malignant rhabdoid tumors are aggressive neoplasms that have been reported in multiple organs.

To our best knowledge, only 16 previous cases of rhabdoid tumor in the colon have been described in the literature.

We present the case of an 87-year-old lady who was diagnosed with a rhabdoid tumor of the colon that relapsed rapidly after surgical resection.

The literature concerning this unusual neoplasm was subsequently reviewed with comparison of all known cases in the literature.
