Primary ERT of the liver are usually not associated with specific signs or symptoms, making the diagnosis very challenging. As ERT are associated with a high metastatic rate, delayed diagnoses lead to increased mortality, as complete resection is not possible in advanced-stage cases. Therefore, early diagnoses, enabling complete resection of the tumour are crucial to improve patient outcomes. Of interest, primary ERT of the liver, is associated with biallelic loss of the SMARCB1 (SWI/ SNF Related, Matrix Associated, Actin Dependent Regulator Of Chromatin, Subfamily B, Member 1) gene, a potential target for cancer therapeutics. This is, to our knowledge, the first case of a hepatic rhabdoid tumour treated with liver transplantation.
