[Bellini duct carcinoma: a case report].
A 53-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for the extensive examination and treatment of suspicioun of right renal pelvic tumor. Retrograde pyelography (RP), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a space-occupying lesion, about 2 cm in diameter, spread from the renal parenchyma to the renal pelvis. Right nephroureterectomy was performed because transitional cell carcinoma was suspected from the histopothology of the frozen section. The gross examination revealed a white tumor in the upper pole, protruding into the renal pelvis with hemorrhagic necrosis. Histological examination showed Bellini duct carcinoma of the papillary type. He received adjuvant combination chemotherapy with M-VAC (Methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin). He has been alive without evidence of recurrence since the surgery.
