Special pathological type of upper urinary tract malignancy—squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis: A case report and literature review
Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinnical features for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the renal pelvis. Methods We analyzed the medical records of a patient diagnosed with SCC of the renal pelvis and performed a literature review. Results SCC of the renal pelvis is a rare pathological type of upper urinary tract malignancy with nonspecific clinical features. Its diagnosis relies on postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry. Radical resection is the gold standard for treatment. Conclusion Patients with long-term urothelial irritation should be regularly screened, pathogenic factors should be proactively addressed, and vigilance should be maintained to prevent the development of SCC.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
