AB  - Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) and primary renal squamous cell 
      carcinoma (SCC) are both rare conditions that can present very similarly in a 
      patient with renal staghorn calculi. We report a case of a 54-year-old male who 
      presented with fatigue, vomiting and significant acute weight loss. The patient 
      was initially believed to have XGP, but was ultimately diagnosed with both XGP 
      and primary renal SCC. This case report and literature review is meant to 
      elucidate the similarities and differences between XGP and primary renal SCC as 
      both can be diagnostically challenging.
