INTRODUCTIONRenal squamous cell carcinoma (RSCC) is a rare tumor that is usually diagnosed late as a locally advanced malignancy with adjacent structure involvement. Radical surgical resection with negative margins is the mainstay of treatment, as it is correlated with improved survival, while other modalities of treatment have been shown to have limited efficacy.PRESENTATION OF CASEWe report a case of a 56 year old gentleman with right RSCC with tumor encasing the inferior vena cava (IVC), treated successfully with surgical resection.DISCUSSIONThe surgical management of vascular involvement of similar tumors has not been discussed in-depth in the literature. Surgical resection of the IVC without reconstruction can be done successfully in the circumstance of good collateral circulation; otherwise IVC resection with reconstruction will be necessary.CONCLUSIONRadical resection with clear margins of RSCC tumors with vascular involvement is feasible in selected circumstances.

Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a rare neoplasm, accounting for less than 0.8% of malignant renal tumors. Chronic irritation is believed to be the primary pathogenic cause for squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The most frequently reported cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis generally present with hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis, or nephrolithiasis. The skin of the flank is a very uncommon site of clinical presentation. Here, we report an exceedingly rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis presenting as skin invasion of the flank. Case presentation A 66-year-old Han Chinese man consulted our hospital because of a right lumbar skin lesion lasting more than 3 months. His physical examination revealed that he had a palpable mass about 6.0 cm × 5.0 cm in size at the posterior axillary line in the right low back with skin ulceration 3 mm in diameter and exudation on it. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hydronephrosis of the right kidney and plaque-like abnormal signal in the middle portion of the kidney. The patient underwent a right nephrectomy. The sinus tract formation between the ulcerative skin in the right low back and the middle portion of the right kidney could be found. The distended kidney could not be excised entirely for tight adhesion. Pathological examination showed moderately differentiated renal squamous cell carcinoma with invasion of the renal parenchyma and perirenal adipose tissue. Conclusion It is extremely rare for renal squamous cell carcinoma to present as skin invasion. Recurrent percutaneous nephrolithotomy may be a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The possibility of renal squamous cell carcinoma should be kept in mind in patients who have hydronephrosis, nephrolithiasis, or chronic pyelonephritis for a long time or with renal anomalies. More radiological examinations are suggested for such patients.

“…Primary SCC of native kidney in a renal transplant recipient is very rare, with, to our knowledge, no reported cases in the literature so far. The pathogenesis of SCC is due to chronic irritation superimposed with infection which induces squamous metaplasia leading to leukoplakia and finally neoplasia [ 1 ]. This occurs in chronic calculi, analgesic abuse and radiotherapy [ 2 ], which was not the case in our patient.…”

“…This occurs in chronic calculi, analgesic abuse and radiotherapy [ 2 ], which was not the case in our patient. A radiological diagnosis of SCC is difficult due to the absence of specific characteristic signs [ 2 ], an accurate diagnosis is only possible on postoperative histological analysis or renal fine needle aspiration cytology [ 1 ].…”
