title: [Bellini duct carcinoma or kidney collecting duct carcinoma].
abstract: The authors report a case of renal collecting duct carcinoma or Bellini duct carcinoma. This rare variety of renal carcinoma, which usually has a poor prognosis, is situated in the renal medulla and pyramid. It is composed of large cells similar to collecting duct cells and can be seen at a distance from the tumor. These cells are arranged in highly suggestive tubular, microcystic and papillary structures. These morphological data are compared with those reported in the literature.
