Collecting duct carcinoma
Diagnosis in short

Collecting duct carcinoma. (WC/George Netto)

LM tubular structures with tapered ends, hobnail pattern, nuclear pleomorphism), high mitotic rate
LM DDx papillary renal cell carcinoma (type 2), urothelial carcinoma (with glandular differentiation), metastatic adenocarcinoma, renal medullary carcinoma
IHC CD117 +ve, CK7 +ve, PAX8 +ve, CD10 -ve, AMACR -ve, p63 -ve
Gross medullary tumour
Grossing notes total nephrectomy for tumour grossing, partial nephrectomy grossing
Staging kidney cancer staging
Site kidney - see kidney tumours

Prevalence very rare
Prognosis poor
Clin. DDx other renal tumours

Collecting duct carcinoma, also known as Bellini duct carcinoma[1] and carcinoma of the collecting ducts of Bellini, is a rare aggressive kidney tumour.

It should not be confused with tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney (also known as low-grade collecting duct carcinoma).

General

  • Rare.
  • Poor prognosis.
  • Usually central location.
  • Typically young adults.

Gross

  • Medullary location - as opposed to cortical.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Tubular structures with tapered ends.
    • May be described as tubulopapillary.
  • Hobnail pattern - cell width smaller at basement membrane than free surface.[4]
  • High grade nuclear features (nuclear pleomorphism).
  • High mitotic rate.

Notes:

  • Benign urothelium must present to excluded urothelial carcinoma.
  • Desmoplastic stroma may be prominent.

IHC

Features:[6]

  • HMWCK +ve.
  • LMWCK +ve.
  • CD117 +ve.
  • E-cadherin +ve.
  • CD10 -ve.
  • AMACR -ve.

UCC:

  • CK20 +ve.[6]
  • p63 +ve.[7]
  • CK5/6 +ve.
  • PAX8 -ve.[7]
