Diagnostic Confirmation--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: How
is Diagnostic Confirmation coded for hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms (heme)
when immunophenotyping, genetics, etc. confirm the diagnosis.
Reportability/Behavior:
Our registry collects some borderline (behavior /1) cases that are not
reportable to SEER or any other standard setters. Can we assign a behavior code
of /2 to these cases?
Reportability/Histology--Heme
& Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is a diagnosis of myeloid stem cell disorder or
myeloid stem cell neoplasm reportable when the differential diagnosis includes
only reportable neoplasms? If so, how should histology be coded? See Discussion.
Solid Tumor Rules/Histology--Fallopian Tube: How is histology coded for a high-grade serous carcinoma with admixed yolk sac tumor of the right fallopian tube? See Discussion.
Reportability/Histology--Soft Tissue: Is superficial CD34 positive fibroblastic tumor reportable and if so what histology code should be used? See Discussion.
Reportability/Histology--Endometrium: Are the following terms and diagnoses synonymous with endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and therefore reportable?
1. Atypical glandular epithelium
2. Isthmic-type mucosa with focal severe atypia
3. Simple hyperplasia without atypia
4. EIN/complex atypical hyperplasia (EIN/CAH) or focal EIN/CAH (on biopsy but the resection pathology or operative note states no EIN/CAH/atypical hyperplasia)
Reportability/Histology--Conjunctiva: Is low-grade conjunctival melanocytic intraepithelial lesion (LG-CMIL) with focal high-grade features of the conjunctiva (C690) reportable? If reportable, what histology should be assigned?
Reportability/Histology--Lung: Are adenocarcinoma spectrum lesions on lung imaging reportable when no further information is available? See Discussion.
