Proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma is an aggressive variant of epithelioid sarcoma most often occurring in soft tissues of the proximal limbs, characterized by polygonal cells, marked nuclear atypia, and varied rhabdoid features. Malignant rhabdoid tumor is an aggressive, well characterized entity typically with rhabdoid morphology and involving the kidney of pediatric patients. Rarely, tumors with morphologic and biologic features identical to those in kidney occur in extra-renal sites and are regarded as an extrarenal presentation of the same entity in kidney, named malignant extra-renal rhabdoid tumor.
