Urinary squamous cell carcinoma is a rare variety of urothelial tumors. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma with dual location in the bladder and renal pelvis resulting in a fatal outcome in a patient suffering from a history of tobacco intoxication and recurrent upper urinary tract infections due to kidney stones. The CT scan showed a bladder tumor mass and a small left kidney destroyed by lithiasis. The study of the kidney surgical specimen confirmed a second location of squamous cell carcinoma. After a review of the literature, this is the first case of a bifocal squamous cell carcinoma.
