title: [Tumors of the Bellini collecting tubules. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Based on a personal case and a review of the literature, the authors describe the particular features of renal tumours arising from the papillary ducts of Bellini. The most remarkable feature of this rare lesion, which has a very poor prognosis, is that it arises in the medullary zone of the kidney. The histological diagnosis is often difficult to confirm and immunohistochemical techniques are essential. The possible role of adjuvant chemotherapy following nephrectomy and the type of regimens used are discussed.
