    Abstract:
    Primitive malignant rhabdoid tumors of the central nervous system are rare and have a poor prognosis. Adult and adolescent cases are exceptional. We report the case of a 16-year-old girl who presented an intratumoral hemorrhage in a rhabdoid tumor. She was treated with surgery, followed by intravenous and intrathecal chemotherapy. Despite intensive treatment, she died 5 months after diagnosis. We discuss the different therapeutic options for this patient and review the literature on this kind of tumor.
