Abstractor Notes

This term is seldom used and is not included in the new classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms. There are a number of codes for lymphocytic and lymphoblastic leukemias that would be currently used to describe a neoplasm of lymphoid lineage.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This is a histology for which the Definitive Diagnostic Method does not include Genetics Data or Immunophenotyping, thus Diagnostic Confirmation should never be 3. If genetics and/or immunophenotyping are available, re-review to see if a more specific neoplasm can be coded.
