Question:

MP/H Rules/Histology--Colon: How is histology coded when the final pathology diagnosis is "adenocarcinoma with extensive mucinous features" and the percent of mucinous features is not stated?

Discussion:

Answer:

Code 8140 using rule H6. Rule H6 applies because the percent of mucinous is not specified.

History:

For cases diagnosed 2007 or later, code 8480 [mucinous adenocarcinoma]. When the final diagnosis states "mucinous," code 8480. When mucinous is stated in the final diagnosis, the percent does not need to be specified. See rule H5.
