Question:

Histology: What code is used to represent the histology "endometrioid adenocarcinoma, villoglandular type"?

Discussion:

Answer:

Assign code 8262/3 [Villous adenocarcinoma].

According to the WHO Classification of Tumours, Breast and Female Genital Organs (2003), villoglandular is one of four variants of endometroid adenocarcinoma. The corresponding ICD-O-3 code according to WHO is 8262/3.

History:

For cases diagnosed prior to 2007:

Code the Histology field to 8380/3 [endometrioid adenocarcinoma, NOS]. Because "villoglandular type" is not a choice under "endometrioid adenocarcinoma," there is no impact on the coding of histology.

The combination histology of mixed cell adenocarcinoma (8323/3) does not apply because there is only one type of adenocarcinoma mentioned in the diagnosis, endometrioid.
