Patients are usually diagnosed at a late stage, with subsequent mortality. Surgical excision, usually a radical nephrectomy, remains the treatment of choice. We report a case of a 48-year-old female, presenting with generalised lower abdominal pain, who underwent a simple nephrectomy for a non-functioning kidney and was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma on a postoperative biopsy.
