Question:

Histology (Pre-2007)--Ovary: What code is used to represent clear cell cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary?

Discussion:

Answer:

For tumors diagnosed prior to 2007:

Code histology to 8310/3 [Clear cell adenocarcinoma, NOS]. This is consistent with the WHO Classification of Tumours and reflects the current practice of placing less emphasis on "cyst-" prefix for ovarian malignancies.

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.
