Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the kidney is a rare entity. Coexistence of SCC with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephrits is exceedingly rare with only few reports in the literature. We report a case of a 45-year-old male patient with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis coexistence with renal SCC in one kidney, which proved radiologically and histopathologically. The patient presented to the medical care with bone metastasis. Full radiology workup is also provided which includes computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography.
bleeding (n = 1), and emergent TACE for ruptured HCC (n = 1). In BCLC B stage, major complications developed in two patients (1 liver abscess and 1 septicemia in a patient with biliary invasion). In BCLC C stage, major complications developed in 29 patients (deterioration of liver function, hepatic encephalopathy, liver abscess, septicemia, biliary injury, disabling pleural effusion, variceal bleeding, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and acute kidney injury as alone or in various combinations) with 1-month mortality in one patient. The prevalence of major complication in BCLC C stage was largely affected by the extent of portal vein thrombosis (segmental:sectional:lobar:bilateral or main = 0.0%:5.0%:11.8%:25.0%). Conclusion: cTACE for HCC can be safely performed in the early and intermediate stage or in advanced HCC with limited portal tumor thrombosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
