Description
Shynggys Nuraly and co-authors tell a 2026 case story with a rare diagnosis and a striking outcome: squamous cell carcinoma arising in the renal pelvis. Fewer than 1 percent of upper urinary tract tumors take this form. Their patient was a 58-year-old woman with anemia, and MRI showed an infiltrative mass blocking urine flow and invading the pancreatic tail.
Surgeons removed the kidney and ureter with a bladder cuff, cleared lymph nodes, and took the pancreatic segment in the same operation, achieving a complete resection despite the patient's morbid obesity. Pathology confirmed a well-differentiated keratinizing tumor with nerve invasion, staged pT4N0M0. She received no further therapy. Five years later, PET/CT showed no recurrence, a result the authors credit to thorough multivisceral surgery.
