Abstract
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the renal parenchyma is a rare entity. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is usually unsuspected due to the rarity and inconclusive clinical and radiological features, hence patients present at advanced stages resulting in poor prognosis. It can be associated with long standing obstructive uropathy eg. renal calculi and chronic renal infection. Radical nephrectomy is the mainstay of the treatment. We presented a case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of right kidney with Chronic Pyelonephritis in a patient of a 60 years old male who presented with complains of burning micturition and decreased urine output. The radiological examination showed gross hydronephrosis with staghorn calculi of right kidney. The patient was treated with radical nephrectomy. The significance of this case is highlighted by the unusual location of such a tumour, and while rare, it is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of renal tumours
