Rhabdoid tumor of the kidney is a highly malignant tumor seen in the neonatal population with a characteristic clinical course. There are no known radiologic features to differentiate rhabdoid tumor of the kidney from other renal tumors; however, this report presents a newborn infant with rhabdoid tumor of the kidney who had a normal prenatal ultrasound at ten days prior to birth, followed by an abnormal prenatal ultrasound one day prior to birth. Observation of such a rapid development of a tumor in the kidney in a fetus or an infant should raise the possibility of a highly malignant tumor such as a rhabdoid tumor.

D008527	Medulloblastoma	A malignant neoplasm that may be classified either as a glioma or as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor of childhood (see NEUROECTODERMAL TUMOR, PRIMITIVE). The tumor occurs most frequently in the first decade of life with the most typical location being the cerebellar vermis. Histologic features include a high degree of cellularity, frequent mitotic figures, and a tendency for the cells to organize into sheets or form rosettes. Medulloblastoma have a high propensity to spread throughout the craniospinal intradural axis.

D002528	Cerebellar Neoplasms	Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs.
