Description
Summary:Reno alimentary fistula, a rare illness characterized by improper connection between the kidney and digestive tract, can lead to urinary tract infections, abscesses, and severe sepsis. It can also be caused by various factors such as chronic infections, malignancy, cryoablation, or abdominal surgical procedures. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with bilateral staghorn stones who was diagnosed with reno-duodenal fistula and underwent a right simple nephrectomy and fistula closure. The histopathology revealed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma that originated from the renal pelvis.
