Rhabdoid carcinoma of the colon is a rare type of malignancy that belongs to the family of malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs). This is infrequently encountered in clinical settings therefore data regarding treatment is lacking. Herein we discuss an elderly female patient who presented with severe abdominal pain in the setting of a gastrointestinal perforation. Imaging showed a large mass in the transverse colon, which was found to be an undifferentiated carcinoma of the colon with rhabdoid features. We highlight this case to discuss the clinical course of the patient, thereby adding to the limited literature that is available, as well as review the few studies that have, thus far, documented this rare presentation.
