[Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. A clinical case].
Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is uncommon, accounting for approximately 10% of all renal pelvic tumours. It's often associated with chronic renal calculi or infection and it usually presents at an advanced stage with pain or a palpable mass. We report an incidental case of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis, associated with chronic renal calculi and infection, and weight loss. The prognosis of patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of genitourinary origin is poor. In patients with chronic stones or infection squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis must be suspected if survival is to be affected.
