Question:

MP/H Rules--Breast: What histology code should be used with invasive papillary carcinoma with cribriform carcinoma component? There is also DCIS adjacent to the invasive tumor, predominant cribriform and focal papillary patterns. This is a single breast tumor. See Discussion.

Discussion:

Registry staff is divided between 8523 and 8255.

Answer:

For cases diagnosed 2007 or later:

First apply rule H9, code the invasive. To determine the code for the invasive histology, start with rule H10 and stop at rule H15. Code the histology 8503 [papillary]. Papillary (8503) and cribriform (8201) are listed in Table 1 as specific duct types, but in this case they are invasive.

Table 1 and Table 2 will be clarified in the next version of the MP/H rules.
