Malignant rhabdoid tumor of kidney (MRTK) is highly aggressive tumor of infancy and childhood. MRTK is unique in its significant association with primary brain tumours or brain metastases. We describe a case of malignant rhabdoid tumor of kidney, who first presented as posterior fossa brain tumor. Renal tumor was discovered incidentally during cerebral medullary MRI.
