Prathyaksha Variar, Aroonima Misra, Fouzia Siraj
TL;DR
This paper presents three rare cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma in the renal pelvis, highlighting its diagnostic challenges and aggressive nature.
Contribution
The novelty lies in reporting three new cases of a rare cancer type in the renal pelvis from a single hospital in North India.
Findings
Primary SCC of the renal pelvis is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose due to its varied clinical presentation.
The reported cases confirm the aggressive nature of this cancer subtype.
The paper adds to the limited existing literature on this rare condition.
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.
