Question:

Histology (Pre-2007)--Breast: What code is used to represent the histology "ductal adenocarcinoma with medullary features?"

Discussion:

Answer:

For tumors diagnosed prior to 2007:

Medullary is a subtype of duct and "with features of" is a term that indicates a majority of tumor. If this is an invasive adenocarcinoma with no in situ component, code to 8510/3 [Medullary adenocarcinoma]. If only one of the components is invasive, code that component.

For tumors diagnosed 2007 or later, refer to the MP/H rules. If there are still questions about how this type of tumor should be coded, submit a new question to SINQ and include the difficulties you are encountering in applying the MP/H rules.
