Question:

CS Tumor Size--Ovary: The size of a cyst is not coded in this field. However, can the size of a "cystic mass" be coded in this field? See Discussion.

Discussion:

The specimen consists of a cystic mass which weighs 1520 grams and measures 23 x 17 x 10 cm.

Answer:

If the tumor is described as a "cystic mass" and only the size of the entire mass is given, code the size of the entire mass, because the cysts are part of the tumor itself.

Please note: Ovarian cancer stage is not based on tumor size.
