Abstract:
Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the renal pelvis is one of the extremely rare tumors encountered in the kidney. It poses a diagnostic challenge for both the clinician and pathologist alike due to the sheer rarity of its occurrence and the multitude nature of its clinical presentation. A review of the literature over the last few decades shows just a countable number of cases documented, each bearing the testimony of the aggressive nature of this subtype. We hereby report three cases of SCC of the renal pelvis origin received at a tertiary care hospital in North India.
