We report the case of a 60-year-old patient hospitalized in our training for the management of a renal mass, An ultrasound and an abdominal scanner showed the presence of a process of bulky heterogeneous renal tissue which infiltrates the right lobe of the liver measured at 88X87mm la, we performed a total enlarged right nephrectomy associated with a right hepatic lobectomy. The appearance of cells in “kitten ring” and the tubular appearance in “furniture nail” first evoke a carcinoma of the bellini collecting tubes, an immunohistochemical complement to confirm the diagnosis. Although rare, carcinoma of the collecting tubes poses a problem of differential diagnosis all the more since in our observation there was a massive infiltration of the liver making the diagnosis extremely difficult.
