Tumours arising from the kidney are mostly either adenocarcinoma from the renal parenchyma or transitional cell carcinoma from the renal pelvis. Clear cell carcinoma is the most common type of renal malignancy followed by papillary carcinoma and others. A squamous cell carcinoma arising from the kidney is a rare occurrence and constitutes less than 1% of all urinary tract neoplasms. We in our case report present a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from renal pelvis.
