title: The role of imaging in renal and extra-renal rhabdoid tumours.
abstract: Rhabdoid tumour of the kidney is an uncommon malignancy with a poor prognosis that usually occurs in childhood. Certain imaging features may help distinguish this lesion from the much more common Wilms' tumour. Extra-renal rhabdoid tumours appear to have no specific imaging characteristics.
