Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare urological malignancy that primarily affects the penile area, with the upper urinary tract, particularly the ureter, being less common. The literature on verrucous carcinoma of the ureter is limited due to its rarity. There have been reports of verrucous carcinoma including oral verrucous carcinoma, cutaneous verrucous carcinoma, kidney verrucous carcinoma, and other types of verrucous carcinoma. We presented the world’s first case of ureter verrucous carcinoma.
