Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the renal pelvis is a rare tumour with myriad of presentations. We report a case who presented with perinephric abscess and diagnosis of Squamous cell carcinoma was made only after histopathologicalexamination. Case is being reported to highlight the unusual presentation of this very rare neoplasm and stress the importance of high degree of suspicion of squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis in cases of nephrolithiasis who present with loin pain and a suspicion of perinephric abscess. Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a masquerader which can present in any form and must be considered in the differentials in patients who have a history of renal stones and present with vague symptoms.
