Abstract
Nested/microcystic (NV/MV) urothelial carcinoma (UC) variants are associated with mild cytologic atypia and commonly present at high-stage disease. The histopathogenesis is investigated using urothelial basal cell markers. Archival 14 NV/MV and three inverted papilloma (IP) were immunostained for CD44, cytokeratin 5 (CK5), CK34bE12 and p63. Twenty consecutive cases of invasive high-grade UC including 14 superficial and 6 muscle-invasive UC cases were used as control. Immunostaining was scored as high for staining of full or more than 50% thickness of the epithelial nest or epithelium and low for lesser immunoreactivity and negative reactivity. All 14 NV/MV, 3 IP and 6 control cases showed a high score of immunoreactivity for CK5, CD44, CK34bE12 and focally for p63. The remaining control cases showed a high score of immunoreactivity for CK34bE12, while negative or low for CK5, CD44 and p63. In conclusion, immunoreactivity CK5 and CD44 commonly immunostained NV/MV and some invasive high grade UC. Other basal cell markers (CK34bE12 and p63) appear to be non specific or non sensitive. NV and MV and some UC likely represent a subset of UC displaying immunohistochemical features of urothelial basal cells. They had tendency of endophytic growth and early invasion despite the innocuous cytologic appearance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
