  • Title: Bellini duct carcinoma: a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma.
    Author: Mattelaer P, Wolff JM, Brauers A, IJzerman W, Füzesi L, Jakse G.
    Journal: Acta Urol Belg; 1996 Sep; 64(3):33-5. PubMed ID: 8946779.
    Abstract:
    Bellini Duct Carcinoma (BDC) or collecting duct carcinoma is a rare but very aggressive renal neoplasm which originates from the epithelium of the ducts of Bellini in the distal tubule. This tumour often occurs in a young population and has a bad prognosis. Histomorphological differentiation from the more common renal cell carcinoma of the proximal tubuli is difficult. Immunohistochemic and cytogenetic characterisation can lead to the correct diagnosis.
