• Background Rhabdoid tumors are highly malignant tumors predominantly affecting the pediatric population. When these tumors occur outside of the kidneys, they are referred to as malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumors (MERT), a rare highly aggressive subtype. Less commonly, these tumors involve the neuro-axis. Objective Here we present a case of a 15-year-old girl with intradural MERT of the lumbosacral spine who presented with back pain, sudden worsening of lower extremity strength, and complete loss of bowel and bladder control. Results The patient’s tumor showed loss of INI-1 and negative staining for cytokeratin AE1AE3, CD99, and SOX10. Conclusions To our knowledge, there are no previous case reports of MERT with intradural lumbosacral spinal involvement.
