    The patient was presented at our institution's tumor board and the consensus was to proceed with palliative chemotherapy with gemcitabine/ carboplatin. It was felt that there is no role for radiation therapy at this time.

    CT staging scans revealed clear chest except for granulomatous disease, multiple enlarged retroperitoneal aortocaval and paracaval lymph nodes as well as multiple bilobar metastatic lesions.

    She initiated palliative chemotherapy with gemcitabine and carboplatin and tolerated well with no significant cytopenias or other untoward side effects.

    Collecting duct carcinomas have a much more aggressive behavior than clear cell carcinoma.  They are typically more biologically similar to  transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. There are case reports of VEGF-TKIs but most experience is with chemotherapy and in a review on collecting duct tumors in Current Oncology, 20 (3), 2013, Dason et al there was 26% response rate with Gem+platinum agent.
