Question:

Surgery of Primary Site--Cervix: How is this field coded for a cervix primary when a biopsy removes the entire tumor? See discussion.

Discussion:

Path from biopsy shows "severe dysplasia--CIN III" and the report from an endocervical curettage (ECC) is "chronic cervicitis"?

Answer:

For cases diagnosed 1998 and later: Code the Surgery of Primary Site field to 25 [Dilatation and curettage; endocervical curettage (for in situ only)].

History:

For cases diagnosed prior to 1998: Code the Surgery of Primary Site field to 15 [Endocervical curettage (in situ ONLY)].
