Squamous cell carcinoma of the upper tract (SCC-UT) is a rare neoplasm that disproportionately affects patients with longstanding nephrolithiasis. Diagnosis is challenging and typically comes at late stages; as such, the prognosis is poor. The absence of a reliable diagnostic predictor for SCC highlights the need to keep the diagnosis in mind for at-risk patient populations. In this study, we describe a small case series of rapidly progressive SCC-UT incidentally discovered during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
上尿路鳞状细胞癌（SCC-UT）是一种罕见的肿瘤，对长期患有肾结石的患者影响尤为严重。诊断具有挑战性，通常在疾病晚期才能确诊；因此，预后较差。缺乏可靠的SCC诊断预测指标凸显了对高危患者群体进行诊断时需牢记该疾病的必要性。在本研究中，我们描述了一系列在经皮肾镜取石术中偶然发现的快速进展性SCC-UT的小病例系列。
