High risk factors associated with this tumor are cigarette smoking, chronic inflammation or infection (tuberculosis, schistosomiasis e.t.c), analgesic overuse (mostly phenacetin drug overuse), renal calculi e.t.c.<span style="color:black">However, only very few cases are reported in literature without these associations.</span> Radical nephroureterectomy is usually done for these tumors and histopathological examination plays a crucial role in the final diagnosis and staging of such a rare tumor.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;&#10;text-align:center;line-height:200%"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;line-height:200%;mso-layout-grid-align:&#10;none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:&#10;200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;">We report a rare case of primary squamous cell carcinomaof kidney in a 42 year old female presenting with painless haematuria, pain abdomen, oliguria, loss of weight and appetite since one month. Our case was not associated with any of known high risk factors, so becomes more atypical and unusual. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
