Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a rare tumor and is first thought a variant of Wilms' tumor in the kidney. It is recognized as presenting at renal, central nervous system (CNS) and other extra-renal primary sites. A full term baby boy with multiple different sizes bluish skin nodules and masses were found on the surface of his body, which was consistent with MRT.
