Abstract
A case of correcting duct carcinoma of the kidney is presented with hi stologic and cytologic findings. Cytologic examination of voided urine showed glandlike clusters of large cells with granular cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli, along with normal transitional cells. Macroscopica lly the kidney had a pelvic tumor mass that, on microscopic examinatio n, was consistent with renal collecting duct carcinoma. Urinary cytolo gy is useful as a diagnostic procedure evert in cases of rare entities , such as collecting duct carcinoma.
