Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the renal pelvis is a rare neoplasm and is usually associated with long standing renal stone disease. This tumor is aggressive in nature and usually has a poor prognosis. We report a case who presented with sudden significant weight loss. During the radiologic investigation, a renal mass and staghorn calculi were detected in the right kidney. The patient subsequently underwent right radical nephrectomy. Pathological diagnosis was SCC of renal pelvis with extensive infiltration in to the renal parenchyma. The radiologic imaging features and histopathologic findings of this rare tumor are discussed in this report.

Abstract Background: Primary renal pelvic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is exceedingly rare neoplasm and poor prognosis. We reported a patient who underwent surgery for radical nephrectomy.Methods and results: The patient was a 72-year old man, who visited doctors with complaints of dull aching in right flank region and occasional gross hematuria. Abdominal contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a neoplasm and hydronephrosis in the right kidney. The preoperative diagnosis of malignant tumor in right kidney was made by urologist, and open radical nephrostomy was performed. The resected tumor was shown histologically to be squamous cell carcinoma of right renal pelvis.Conclusions: Renal SCC is a rare tumor usually presented in advanced stage with poor prognosis. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are beneficial for patients’ survival. Most patients are associated with risk factors of Renal SCC such as renal calculi and infection, but patient with no risk factors shouldn’t be ignored. We encountered a rare case with no risk factors.

Abstract Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a rare neoplasm, accounting for less than 0.8% of malignant renal tumors. Chronic irritation is believed to be the primary pathogenic cause for squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The most frequently reported cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis generally present with hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis, or nephrolithiasis. The skin of the flank is a very uncommon site of clinical presentation. Here, we report an exceedingly rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis presenting as skin invasion of the flank. Case presentation A 66-year-old Han Chinese man consulted our hospital because of a right lumbar skin lesion lasting more than 3 months. His physical examination revealed that he had a palpable mass about 6.0 cm × 5.0 cm in size at the posterior axillary line in the right low back with skin ulceration 3 mm in diameter and exudation on it. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hydronephrosis of the right kidney and plaque-like abnormal signal in the middle portion of the kidney. The patient underwent a right nephrectomy. The sinus tract formation between the ulcerative skin in the right low back and the middle portion of the right kidney could be found. The distended kidney could not be excised entirely for tight adhesion. Pathological examination showed moderately differentiated renal squamous cell carcinoma with invasion of the renal parenchyma and perirenal adipose tissue. Conclusion It is extremely rare for renal squamous cell carcinoma to present as skin invasion. Recurrent percutaneous nephrolithotomy may be a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The possibility of renal squamous cell carcinoma should be kept in mind in patients who have hydronephrosis, nephrolithiasis, or chronic pyelonephritis for a long time or with renal anomalies. More radiological examinations are suggested for such patients.

Introduction: Skin graft reconstruction is a common method of providing wound coverage. Rarely, skin grafting can be associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the graft donor site. Case Report: The patient is a 72-year old male with a 15-year history of bilateral hip wounds. He underwent a multitude of treatments previously with failed reconstructive efforts. After presenting to us, he underwent multiple debridements and eventual skin grafting. Within 4 weeks of the final skin graft, a mass developed at the skin graft donor site at the right thigh. Excisional biopsy returned a well differentiated keratinizing SCC. Discussion/Conclusion: This case demonstrates the acute presentation of SCC in a patient following a skin graft without known risk factors. The purpose of this unique case report is to highlight a very rare occurrence of SCC at a skin graft donor site.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the renal parenchyma is an extremely rare entity. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is usually unsuspected due to the rarity and inconclusive clinical and radiological features. Most of the patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and are with poor outcome. Radical nephrectomy is the mainstay of the treatment. We reported a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney in a 50-year-old female who presented with the right sided abdomen pain. The patient was treated with radical nephrectomy.
