Histology (Pre-2007)--Colon: Must a case be specifically labeled "familial adenomatous polyposis" or is the mere presence of numerous/multiple polyps sufficient for coding the histology to FAP?
Histology (Pre-2007)--Colon: What code is used to represent histology when the surgeon describes a sessile polyp and the final path diagnosis is stated as: "Rectal sessile polyp: Invasive moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma" (pathologist does not state that it is "arising in a sessile polyp")?
Histology (Pre-2007)--Corpus uteri: How is a polyp with "endometrial carcinosarcoma (Malignant Mixed Mullerian tumor), endometrial adenocarcinoma, and some areas of high grade spindle sarcoma" coded? See Discussion.
Histology (Pre-2007)--Corpus Uteri: How should this field be coded when the D&C which shows "adenocarcinoma with mucinous and papillary features" and the TAH demonstrates only "endometroid carcinoma"? See Discussion.
Histology (Pre-2007)--Corpus Uteri: What code is used to represent the histology "endometrioid carcinoma with squamous differentiation" for an endometrium primary?
Histology (Pre-2007)--Kidney: Is 8316/3 [Cyst associated renal cell carcinoma] the appropriate code for 1) Cystic renal cell carcinoma, 2) Renal cell carcinoma mass with cystic areas and 3) Cystic renal cell carcinoma, clear cell type?
Histology (Pre-2007)--Kidney: What code is used to represent the histology "renal cell carcinoma with granular cell morphology"? Kidney primary with diagnosis of renal cell CA with granular cell morphology. Do we code as granular cell carcinoma? Is the term "morphology" synonymous with "type"? See discussion.
