Status Final References Source 1: WHO Class Urinary Tumors pgs: Notes: Source 2: ICD-O-3 pgs: Notes: Question Reportability/Behavior--Kidney: Is epithelioid angiomyolipoma (AML) of the kidney a reportable malignancy? See discussion. Discussion The addendum final diagnosis on a pathology report for a kidney core needle biopsy included the results of additional stains performed on the tissue. It indicated the morphology was most consistent with epithelioid angiomyolipoma. Further comments in the body of the report indicate these tumors are now considered malignant neoplasms with the capacity to be locally aggressive and they can potentially metastasize. There is no mention of a metastasis in this particular case. Answer Epithelioid AML of the kidney is not reportable unless stated to be malignant. If the pathologist confirms this is a malignancy, use Rule F in ICD-O-3, assign behavior code /3, and report the case. History Last Updated 01/16/2013 Date Finalized 01/16/2013 |
