Abstract

Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the kidney is a very rare clinical entity, having an incidence of about 0.5% of all renal malignancy. The lack of characteristic presentation leads to delay in the diagnosis and treatment resulting in grave prognosis for these patients. In this paper, we report a case of renal squamous cell carcinoma treated with Sunitinib with a good response, an acceptable safety profile and we analyze different data about diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.

Key words: Carcinoma, kidney, squamous cell, sunitinib, targeted therapy.
