  • Title: [Carcinoma of the Bellini collecting duct in paediatric patients: a case report and review of the literature].
    Author: Gurrera A, Amico P, Di Cataldo A, Vasquez E, Magro G.
    Journal: Pathologica; 2007 Oct; 99(5):301-5. PubMed ID: 18354951.
    Abstract:
    Collecting duct carcinoma is an uncommon variant of renal cell carcinoma that usually occurs at an earlier age compared to conventional renal cell carcinoma. It is characterised by an aggressive, often fatal, course. Renal cell carcinoma rarely occurs in paediatric patients, and is almost always in association with specific genetic alterations; the most common histotypes are the clear cell and chromophobe cell variants. Collecting duct carcinoma is rare, and only 8 cases have been reported in the literature. The authors describe the clinico-pathological features of a fatal collecting duct carcinoma in an 11-year-old boy.
