Abstract

Background: The upper urinary tract can develop squamous metaplasia, which is not frequent. Even more unusual is the occurrence of both florid squamous metaplasia and persistent pyelonephritis simultaneously. Despite its rarity, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis or nephrolithiasis may be connected with this illness if it is exposed to irritants or infections over time. case information In this instance, a 49-year-old man with a history of nephrolithiasis surgery was referred for a straightforward nephrectomy due to an infected kidney that was persistently non-functioning. Histological investigation and gross observations both showed extensive interstitial chronic inflammation and florid squamous metaplasia within the pelvicalyceal system. These findings include the clinical presentation as well as the gross and microscopic ones. ―DIAGNOSIS Chronic Pyelonephritis with Renal Pelviceal Keratinizing Squamous Metaplasia‖ Conclusion: Additional squamous metaplasia from renal stones is possible. While this finding can occasionally be a benign process, mimicking neoplasia, or be coupled with it, as was the case in the current case.
