Abstract:
From 1983 to 2000, 2 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis associated with renal calculi were treated in our department. The literature was reviewed to discuss the diagnosis and the treatment. Both of the 2 patients presented with typical renal colic, gross hematuria and renal abscess. In one patient, renal pelvic tumor was diagnosed by CT before operation and radical nephrectomy was carried out after squamous cell carcinoma was detected with frozen section during operation. No recurrence was developed during a follow-up of 18 months. Another patient received systemic chemotherapy and died from cancer collapse after 4 months. Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is uncommon and associated with renal calculi. Typically, these are poorly differentiated tumors with poor prognosis. Early diagnosis is difficult and radical nephrectomy is the first-choice treatment.
