  • Title: [Bellini duct carcinoma of the kidney: a case report].
    Author: Katoh Y, Suwa Y, Nagasima Y.
    Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 2004 Mar; 50(3):177-9. PubMed ID: 15148769.
    Abstract:
    A case of Bellini duct carcinoma is reported. A 70-year-old man visited our hospital because of gross hematuria and left flank pain. Although no abnormality was found on ultrasonography, drip infusion pyecography, computed tomographic scan and cystoscopy. However class IV was suspected based on urinary cytology. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an irregular pattern in the left upper kidney. Ureterscopic biopsy revealed transitional cell carcinoma and class V was suspected on the urinary cytology of the left renal pelvis. Under the preoperative diagnosis of a left renal pelvic tumor, left nephroureterectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis with immunohistostaining was Bellini duct carcinoma. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was noted 9 months after surgery without any adjuvant therapy.
