Abstract
Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a rare renal malignancy thought to develop from the collecting duct epithelium of the kidney. CDC tends to have a more aggressive clinical course than conventional renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with early metastases. The occurrence of a mixed CDC and conventional RCC is infrequently reported in the literature. We report the first case of a metastatic mixed CDC and RCC presenting as back pain in a young adult. In addition we discuss the epidemiology of and current adjuvant therapies for CDC.Entities:
