Popis: Bellini Duct Carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of Renal Cancer which shares histological and clinical features with Transitional cell carcinomas. We present the two single cases recorded in our hospital with a medical literature review. Although there are no exact guidelines to treat this disease, when is disseminated we normally used chemotherapy schemes based on platinum salt like in Urothelial cancer. The targeted therapy should be considered for the treatment of metastatic collecting duct carcinoma but a prospective evaluation is necessary in multicenter clinical trials.
