Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is an uncommon tumor, comprising about 0.5-2% of all primary malignant tumor of the kidney. The patients of this disease usually presented late with extensive local infiltration. In addition, poor response to surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy result in a poor prognosis and short survival. We report a patient of squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis with staghorn calculi in a 66-year-old woman who had a history of right sided renal colic and palpable abdominal mass.
