    Tumors of the renal pelvis account for approximately 10% of all renal tumors of which urothelial carcinomas constitute the majority followed by adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The latter are rarer and very few cases have been reported in English literature. We report a case of primary renal squamous cell carcinoma in the left renal pelvis associated with staghorn calculi and pyonephritis.This case has been reported due to its extreme rarity and also highlights the silent presentation of these tumors and the need to keep it as a differential diagnosis while evaluating cases of nephrolithiasis and chronic inflammations.
