Primary rhabdoid tumors are highly malignant, rare tumors occurring in the renal, extrarenal soft tissue or central nervous system. They have non-specific radiological features and present with several histological components that create a problem in differential diagnosis with other embryonal tumors. We report a rare case of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the retina that presented with clinical features like those of retinoblastoma.
