Answer:

Reportability depends on the location of the tumor. Tumors in the following sites are reportable:

C700 - C709

C710 - C719

C720 - C729

C751 - C753

Benign and borderline tumors of the peripheral nerves (C47_), including peripheral nerves along the spinal cord, are not reportable.

Please note: spinal schwannomas arising in the nerve root or spinal dura are reportable.
