rhabdoid tumour (medicine) and sympathetic trunk (medicine)


rhabdoid tumour (medicine)


rhabdoid tumour


A rare but highly lethal childhood tumour found almost exclusively in infants. Histopathologically, it resembles rhabdomyosarcoma but the tumour cells are not of myogenic origin. Although it arises primarily in the kidney, it may be found in Other parts of the body. The rhabdoid cytomorphology is believed to be the expression of a very primitive malignant cell.


sympathetic trunk (medicine)


sympathetic trunk


One of the two long ganglionated nerve strands alongside the vertebral column that extend from the base of the skull to the coccyx; they are connected to each spinal nerve by gray rami and receive fibres from the spinal cord through white rami connecting with the thoracic and upper lumbar spinal nerves.

Synonym: truncus sympathicus, gangliated cord.
