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.

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.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the renal pelvis is an aggressive tumor with insidious onset of unspecific symptoms and advanced stages at diagnosis. It is a rare entity, accounting for 0.5–8% of renal tumors. In this paper, we describe the case of a patient with a history of recurrent nephrolithiasis that presented with an aggressive form of SCC of the renal pelvis with rapid relapse after resection.

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.

Abstract Background Oesophageal submucosal tumours are usually benign. We report a rare case of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma presenting as a submucosal tumour. Case presentation A 58-year-old man undergoing screening oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy was found to have a smooth-surfaced 0.6-cm sized submucosal tumour in the oesophagus 30 cm from the incisor. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed the tumour to be located in the muscularis mucosa; the lesion was heterogeneously hypoechoic and had a clear boundary. With a provisional diagnosis of leiomyoma, the tumour was removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Pathological examination showed it to be a moderately differentiated infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma, with normal overlying squamous epithelium. Immunohistochemistry indicated that it was caused by malignant transformation in mucosal glandular duct epithelium. Positron emission tomography–computer tomography showed no tumour spread to any other site. The patient was treated by oesophageal resection. Conclusion The clinician should be aware that oesophageal submucosal tumours with smooth overlying mucosa may not always be benign; malignancy must be ruled out.

Abstract Background We sometimes experience cases of cervical esophageal cancer which requires laryngectomy due to spread of cancer to larynx. We report a case of esophageal cancer resection with preservation of larynx using intraoperative endoscopic submucosal dissection. Methods The patient was a 59-year-old woman who had dysphagia. She had received total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction for gastric cancer in 2001, chemoradiation (61.2Gy) for esophageal cancer in 2008. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) was performed for the carcinoma in situ of cervical esophagus in 2016. This time superficial 0-IIc tumor was observed at the same site of the scar of APC, and a biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma. An endoscopic findings revealed two 0-IIc lesions at distance of 18–22 cm, and 32–34 cm from the incisors, and biopsy resulted in a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. Since tumor was close to the esophageal orifice, the tumor invasion to the larynx was suspected. On the other hand, there were no obvious findings of the submucosal layer invasion, and the both tumor were thought to be limited to the epithelium or lamina propria mucosae (EP/LPM). We performed mediastinoscopic and thoracoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy, subcutaneous ileocolic reconstruction. Results After confirming the tumor invasion to the esophageal orifice by chromoendoscopy with 1% Lugol's iodine solution, we dissected the whole circumference of esophagus in submucosal layer just above the tumor by ESD, put an incision outside of esophageal wall, and resected the esophagus. We preserved short length of muscle layer and performed reconstruction with hypopharynx-ileum anastomosis. Pathological examination revealed squamous cell carcinoma, pT1a-EP, ly0, v0, pPM0, pDM0, pIM0, and curative resection was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion There were no reports of successful larynx-preserving surgery for cervical esophageal cancer using intraoperative ESD. When the tumor was limited in the mucosa, esophagectomy with intraoperative ESD may enable larynx preservation even if the tumor invaded to the esophageal orifice.
