Tumor of the Renal Pelvis Accompanying Coral Nephrolithiasis

Abstract

Cancer of the renal pelvis, in particular the squamous cell form, is an extremely rare neoplasm of this localization. Chronic inflammation is thought to be a risk factor for this disease due to the presence of stones in the collecting system. Having no specific clinical manifestations, this tumor is often an incidental finding identified during examination of patients for other reasons.This article presents a clinical case of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis in a patient with a long course of urolithiasis and the presence of staghorn stones, complicated by a kidney abscess diagnosed by CT and MRI.
