Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary tract is a very rare tumor associated with chronic renal calculi and infection. This tumor is highly aggressive and often detected at an advanced stage with a poor outcome. We hereby describe a case report of a 56-year-old male who presented with hydronephrosis and hydroureter in a non-functioning left kidney with ureteric calculi. Histopathology of the nephrectomy specimen revealed unexpected squamous cell carcinoma with chronic pyelonephritis. The pus culture came out positive for fungus—Geotrichum.
