Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Bellini duct carcinoma is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma.
  • Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic 4 cm left renal mass.
  • Imaging revealed an avascular lesion at the lower pole of the left kidney.

Findings:

  • Histopathological diagnosis confirmed Bellini duct carcinoma of papillary tubular type.
  • Lectin histochemistry showed positive staining for soyabean and peanut agglutinins, suggesting Bellini duct origin.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to understanding the pathogenesis of Bellini duct carcinoma.
  • Successful surgical management resulted in a disease-free outcome for the patient.
