Primary mucinous adenocarcinomas of the renal pelvis are rare tumours, with very few reports in the literature. They arise from metaplasia of the renal pelvic urothelium. We report a case of a 45 year old female who presented with a lump in the left hypochondrium associated with pain of 6 months duration. Histopathology revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma in a background of chronic pyelonephritis. We report this case for its rarity.
Key words: Mucinous adenocarcinoma, renal pelvis, staghorn calculus
