Squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis presenting as pyelo-entero-cutaneous fistula: Case report and review of literature -

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of renal pelvis is a subtle tumor constituting only about 0.7% to 7% of all renal malignancies. Out of various aetiologies proposed, the most pertinent is long standing irritation due to calculi and infection. Pyelo-entero-cutaneous fistula is a rare but serious condition mostly secondary to iatrogenic injury occurring during per-cutaneous renal surgeries.We report a rare case of Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis presenting as Pyelo-entero-Cutaneous Fistula. The diagnosis of SCC of renal pelvis was made on post surgery pathological examination.
