Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a rare disease which is occupied about 17% of all tumors of the renal pelvis. Through many experimental and clinical practices, the stone and the infection as its etiological factors have been suggested, however, squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis not associated with these etiological factors were found occasionally. We have experienced a case of squamous cell carcinoma developed in the renal pelvis without stone or infection.
