Abstract
To analyze CT findings of Bellini duct carcinoma, a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma. The CT findings of five cases of Bellini duct carcinoma were reviewed and the findings were recorded. In all cases the affected kidneys maintained the normal outer contours. In four cases the renal masses protruded into the central sinuses. Contrast enhancement was minimal in four cases. Bellini duct carcinoma should be suspected in cases with these CT findings.Keywords
