UTUC, Adjuvant chemotherapy, Nested variant urothelial carcinoma (NVUC)Abstract
We report an atypical clinical case of an infrequent subtype of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), with a nested variant. It
is an infrequent histological subtype with poor prognosis. Laparoscopic left nephroureterectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy (AC)
with good outcomes were performed.
