title: Congenital primitive epithelial tumor of the liver showing focal rhabdoid features, placental involvement, and clinical features mimicking multifocal hemangioma or stage 4S neuroblastoma.
abstract: We describe an unusual case of congenital primitive epithelial tumor of the liver with focal rhabdoid features. The present case is unique and informative in the following aspects: (1) a first case of congenital epithelial tumor of the liver with no hepatocytic differentiation but focal rhabdoid features, (2) clinical similarities to multicentric hemangioma or stage 4S neuroblastoma, (3) diagnosis obtained from histological examination of the placenta immediately after birth.
