Background: Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a rare renal tumor, originating from the distal collecting duct. CDC rarely presents as a primary tumor outside the renal system.

Case Presentation: In this study, we report a rare case of collecting duct carcinoma, with an initial presentation of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, and no identifiable primary renal tumor on CT, at the time of diagnosis.

Purpose: Current evidence regarding renal involvement in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) is scant. More accurate diagnostic methods, such as renal Doppler ultrasound for intrarenal hemodynamic studies, may provide more detailed information on renal function. It might be postulated that renal function in PPGL patients might be altered by high blood pressure and excess secretion of catecholamines.

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors which originate from embryonic neural crest cells. These tumors may arise from parasympathetic or sympathetic paraganglia, may secrete catecholamines, and can occur in varied anatomic locations, with some locations being less common than others. Hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma (PGL/PCC) syndromes are characterized by paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas and have been associated with germline heterozygous mutations in MAX, SDHA, SDHAF2, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, or TMEM127.

Intrarenal pheochromocytoma (paraganglioma) is a very rare tumour. Its diagnosis is often difficult to establish because of its rarity and its histological similarity to renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recently, we examined the molecular signatures of different subtypes of kidney tumours by using cDNA microarray.

Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a 52-amino acid peptide with structural homology to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) initially isolated from human pheochromocytoma. ADM is synthesized by many mammalian tissues including the adrenal medulla, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells, myocardium and central nervous system. ADM binds to plasma membrane receptors composed of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR), a member of serpentine receptor superfamily, and receptor activity modifying protein (RAMP) type 2 or 3.
