Hong Chuan Chen, Wei Xiao, Ming Shun Zuo, Pin Gang He, Neng Zhang

Background: Primary renal pelvic SCC is exceedingly rare neoplasm and poor prognosis. We reported a patient who underwent surgery for radical nephrectomy.

Case: 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.

Results: The resected tumor was shown histologically to be squamous cell carcinoma of rightrenal pelvis. Regular monthly follow-up was conducted without chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and patient diedseven months after surgery.

Conclusion: Renal SCC is a rare tumor usually presented in advanced stage with poor prognosis. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are beneficial for patients’ survival. Renal SCC were associated with risk factors of 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
