Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in Canada. Whilemost patients present with transitional cell carcinoma, few presentwith squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Risk factors for SCC includea history of chronic urinary tract infection, urothelial inflammationand indwelling catheters. We present the management of a patientwith locally advanced SCC of the bladder.

Introduction: Renal pelvic squamous cell carcinoma is a very rare tumor, with a prevalence <1% of all urinary tract tumors, about 0.5–8% of all kidney tumors, and the average age is 50–70 years. Although the incidence of renal squamous cell carcinoma is less common than renal cell carcinoma and renal transitional cell carcinoma, due to its more aggressive nature renal squamous cell carcinoma is often found intraoperatively and is already in an advanced stage or metastasis. The relevant medical history of squamous cell carcinoma is pyelonephritis, chronic nephrolithiasis, and a history of kidney stone surgery. Data which was obtained from previous research at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, from January 2014–December 2017, found the incidence of renal squamous cell carcinoma from nephrectomy procedures was 6%. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study with a correlative analytic study, samples were taken consecutively from biopsy of kidney mucosa intraoperatively in hospitalized patients with kidney stones with size larger than 20 mm at the Department of Urology, Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, which performed open kidney surgery or percutaneous nephrolithotomy from January–May 2019. Results: The number of samples in this study were from 30 patients, consisting of 16 males and 14 females. Five patients underwent open kidney surgery and 25 patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery, with an average of age of 49.5±11.8 years and 63.3% of patients were aged from 40–60 years. In this study, one patient (3.3%) showed squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney, a 57-year-old male patient with a left staghorn kidney stone who underwent left percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery. Conclusion: There is a benefit for intraoperative kidney mucosal biopsy as a screening for squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney in nephrolithiasis patients with stones larger than 20 mm.

A 58-year-old male with a past medical history of squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma presented to the emergency department with complaints of right facial mass, loss of vision, and frequent falls due to visual disturbances. The mass was also associated with pain and purulent drainage. On examination, the patient had a large necrotizing and ulcerative mass occupying the entire right hemiface with complete destruction of facial anatomy including the right eye and nose as shown (Figure 1). On further inquiry, the patient stated that he noticed a “Little Bubble” on his face 3 years ago, which has been progressively worsening since then. He was estranged from his family and had been living alone. The patient did not seek medical care earlier for reasons he did not want to share with the medical team despite our multiple attempts at patient-centered interviewing. He recently established contact with his daughter who ultimately convinced him to seek medical attention. The patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma over his face and scalp several years ago, which was successfully treated with surgery at that time. However, he did not follow up and had not seen a physician in several years.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the ampulla of Vater is a rare pathology and only few cases are reported in the literature. With limited experience of primary SCC in the ampulla of Vater, its biological behaviour, prognosis and long-term survival rates are not well known. A 38-year-old woman presented with a history of painless progressive jaundice for which self-expending metallic stent was placed 3 years back. She was evaluated and initially diagnosed as probably periampullary adenocarcinoma. She underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and histopathology with immunohistochemistry was suggestive of SCC of ampulla of Vater. She received adjuvant chemotherapy and doing well with no recurrence after 1 year of follow-up. In conclusion, SCC of the ampulla is an unusual pathology that should be kept as a differential diagnosis for periampullary tumours. Surgical treatment with curative intent should be performed whenever feasible even in the setting of bulky tumour to improve the outcome.
