Introduction


The kidney is not an uncommon site for malignancy. In majority of cases renal cell carcinoma dominates the lesion from renal cortex and transitional cell carcinoma from collecting system. Histological diagnosis is essential as the choice of chemotherapeutic agent and prognosis, depends upon pathological features of the tumor. Beside transitional cell carcinoma, adenocarcinonia and squamous cell carcinoma are also detected occasionally. Squamous cell carcinoma are rare, mostly present at an advanced stage and are notorious for aggressive course. Here we present a case of squamous cell carcinom a of renal pelvis that was localized at the time or presentation.
