Primary renal squamous cell carcinoma is a very rare tumour. Only a few cases have been reported in world literature. Here we report a case with renal squamous cell carcinoma. The patient presented with flank pain, fever and vomiting. In ultrasonography, renal mass was detected and after nephrectomy followed by histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as   squamous cell carcinoma. There was no evidence of renal calculi or other predisposing factors.  This report highlights the rarity of the tumour.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/akmmcj.v3i2.11692   AKMMC J 2012: 3(2): 34-36

SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA (SCC) OF THE RENAL PELVIS: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE Background: SCC of Renal pelvis are rare in clinical practice and patholoyl. We report a case with clinicopathological correlation of SCC in Hospital C Da Nang The purpose of this case is to demonstrate on unusual and aggressive of SCC .The discusses the clinical and and radiological features. Methods :We review the clinical and pathological record of a case RSCC in retrospective of nephrectomy specimens and follow up the patient from Oct/2018 to Jan/2019 and approprivate literatures Case reportA 78 years old malepresented with history of renal stone operation ten years ago.The patient admitted with flank,abdominal pain and hematuria.Family history and physical examination were within normal limits Ultrasound examination of abdomen showed left renal calculi, KUB and UIV which reveals only calculi and hydronephrosisAbdominal CT reveals a left renal pelvis mass, calculis and large lymph nodes. The patient underwent a left radical nephrectomy without complications Histopathological examination revealed features of well – differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of renal with extensive involvement of renal parenchyma and metastasis to lymph nodes.Due to aggressive nature of these tumour patient develop locally recurrence and disseminated metastatic disease. The patients was dead four month after pathologic diagnosis. Primary SCC of renal pelvis is rare, which represents only 0.5 to 15 % of malignant renal tumor. Few such cases have been reported.Nephrolithiasis, especially formation of staghorn stone was accepted as a main carcinogenic risk factor SCC. Chronic irritation, inflammation and infection are believed to induce reactive change in the urothelium and leads to neoplasia via metaplasia and leucoplasia. Initial diagnosis of SCC is based on histopathological examination. The histopathology is the hallmark of diagnosis because of lack of characteristic clinical and imaging features. Most of these SCC are moderately or presented with advance stage. The current primary treatment of renal SCC is nephrectomy, adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy indicated in metastatic disease. However, it is highly aggressive unfavorable outcome, suggesting very poor prognosis, with a median survival of 3.5 months in cases of metastatic dissemination; 7 months post operatively and a dismal 5 years survival rate 7.7% Conclusion: primary SCC of renal pelvis is a rare aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. The patient with newer imagingteachnologies for early detaction of the tumor that may lead to better outcome for the patients Histopathology is the hallmark of diagnosis which is usually made after surgical resection Keyword: Squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis.

Primary renal squamous cell carcinoma is a very rare entity. Only few cases are reported in the world literature. Most of the patients present at a late stage resulting in poor prognosis. We report a 44 year old female who presented with a history of lump in right flank accompanied with a dull intermittent pain for 2 months duration which intensified in the last 15 days. Antecedent risk factors like renal calculi, analgesic use were absent. Computed Tomography (CT) examination revealed a mass arising from the superior pole of kidney with extension to the posterior segment of liver. Histopathology following nephrectomy showed histological features of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is a rare malignant tumor occurring as either a primary or secondary lesion. Few cases of metastatic or secondary colonic SCC have been published. We report an unusual case of a 59-year-old female patient who was treated by Wertheim hysterectomy and adjuvant chemoradiation for stage IIB SCC of the uterine cervix. Two years later, she developed a metastatic location in the caecum causing an acute intestinal obstruction. She underwent an emergency open right hemicolectomy with ileocolic anastomosis and resection of two nodules of the umbilicus and the right parietal peritoneum. Histopathological examination confirmed a triple metastatic location of SCC. She is disease-free 11 months after surgery. We discuss the clinicopathological features, management strategies, and the prognosis of this rare entity.

Abstract Background Genital malignant neoplasms in mares are relatively rare. The treatment involve surgical removal of the tumour masses, chemotherapy or both. Case presentation Two elderly warmblood mares, aged 16 and 20 were presented in University Clinic with the lumpy lesions at the region of perineum and left labia. Surgical removals of tumour masses were performed on standing animals. Removed tissues were subjected to histopathological examination which confirmed SCC. Conclusions Clinical and ultrasound examination of reproductive organs in both mares showed no inflammatory or neoplastic changes. Both mares healed within 2 weeks after surgery and showed no signs of tumour recurrence for the following year despite no chemotherapy treatment.

This report describes the clinical and histopathological characteristics of a squamous cell carcinoma infiltrating the cervix and the vaginal wall, producing reproductive symptoms and subnormal fertility in an adult ewe. Necropsy showed a large (15-cm-long) neoplastic mass infiltrating the vaginal wall and the cervix. Histopathological examination revealed atypical squamous epithelial cords invading the basal membrane and dermis, round anaplastic cells, focal areas of necrosis, keratinisation of isolated cells, and pronounced infiltration by mononuclear cells around the cords. No squamous cell carcinoma of such localisation has been reported from sheep before. In humans, this tumour is the most common gynaecological malignancy in the world.

Abstract BackgroundSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the prostate is a very rare and highly aggressive tumor, which is insensitive to multiple treatments, prone to metastasis, and has a worse prognosis than adenocarcinoma of the prostate. However, a transformation of prostatic adenocarcinoma into squamous cell carcinoma is rarer and may occur after endocrine or radiotherapy. By now, there are few cases in the world about the transformation from adenocarcinoma into squamous cell carcinoma after treatment. To our knowledge, our case is the first reported in China.Case presentationA 67-year-old man with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate for 2 years, was not suitable for radical prostatectomy due to the disease classified T4N1M1. Endocrine therapy using Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) analog (leuprorelin) and antiandrogen agent (bicalutamide) was started, and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level gradually decreased to a nadir of 0.04ng/ml. 2 years after treatment, he complained of worsening of lower urinary tract symptoms, and then he underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Histopathological examination confirmed most of the tissue areas were accompanied by poorly differentiated keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. Now, the patient started docetaxel treatment. He has received 2 times of systemic chemotherapy. The patient's current general condition is fair.ConclusionsProstatic adenocarcinoma transformed into squamous cell carcinoma after endocrine therapy is very rare. However, the serum PSA of this tumor is probably normal, PSA and the Gleason grading system are of limited value in the diagnosis of SCC, histopathological can help its diagnosis. The transformation is silent and we cannot know it. The question of whether prostatic adenocarcinoma or SCC of the prostate requires more definitive research to answer.

Abstract Introduction: Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas are rare malignancies for which diagnostic and treatment strategy are challenging. In this paper we present a literature review of these tumors based on two case reports. Case presentation: In the first case, a 55-year-old male presented with an inoperable pancreatic head/body junction tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was practiced, and histopathological examination revealed a squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas. After exclusion of any another tumor, the diagnosis of cT4N0M0-staged primary pancreatic SCC was made. The patient is under treatment with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin. The second case is represented by a 73-year-old patient in which imagistic examinations highlighted a cystic mass of the pancreatic body. Following coporeo-caudal splenic-pancreatectomy and histopathological-proved diagnosis of adenosquamous carcinoma, the patient started chemotherapy but died at 11 months after surgery. Both tumor components displayed positivity for markers which prove ductal (cytokeratin19, maspin) and squamous differentiation (p63, cytokeratin5/6) same as vimentin, as indicator of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Conclusions: SCC and adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas are aggressive malignancies which prognosis remains highly reserved. These tumors might be variants of ductal adenocarcinomas which are dedifferentiated through EMT phenomenon.

Gingival Squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC) in maxilla is a rare malignant neoplasm especially when compared with mandible. The most common sites of oral carcinoma are being the lateral border of the tongue and the floor of the mouth which is followed by palate, buccal mucosa and rarely in gingiva. The clinical picture of oral carcinoma can be misguided for gingival overgrowth, desquamative lesions, traumatic ulcers or even pyogenic granuloma. Maxillary oral gingival carcinoma is a rare entity especially in a non-smoker. In this case report, a 70-year-old male patient presented with a gingival lesion in maxilla 24,25 region mimicking pyogenic granuloma without having a tobacco history. A thorough clinical, radiographical and histopathological examination was done and led to the diagnosis of GSCC and the treatment was initiated.Creating awareness among practitioners about gingival squamous cell carcinoma mimicking pyogenic granuloma in dental practice.
