Abstract
The kidney is not an uncommon site for malignancy. In the majority of cases, renal cell carcinoma dominates lesion from renal cortex and transitional cell carcinoma from collecting duct system. Besides these neoplasms, squamous cell carcinomas from renal pelvis are detected occasionally and particularly rare. They usually presents at advanced stage and notorious for aggressive course. Here we report case of localised squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis which was found in male patient aged 78 years. He presented with hematuria since 15 days and he is regular smoker since around 35 years. Radiologic imaging showed presence of solid mass arising from lower pole of the right kidney. He underwent nephrectomy and histomorphological features were consistent with diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma.
