20130008 Primary site-Kidney: In which registry manual/section/page do you find information about how to correctly code the primary site in a patient with renal cell carcinoma in a transplanted kidney? I have been told it is C809 and C649. Please clarify. Final Mar 22 2013
20130007 MP/H Rules/Histology--Colon: Can we use rule H9 for a neuroendocrine tumor of the colon? What is the morphology code?

See discussion.

Final Feb 26 2013
20130006 MP/H Rules/Histology--Prostate: For a prostate case, where no pathology report is available but the MD does state the Gleason, is it ok to code the histology to Adenocarcinoma (8140)? Final Feb 26 2013
20130005 Reportability--Brain and CNS: I have a lot of spinal schwannoma & neurofibroma cases in the intradural space and I have made some reportable & others non-reportable. I would like to submit quality information but I am getting different answers. Could you please help me with this issue? Final Feb 21 2013
20130003 MP/H Rules--Head & Neck: Parotid gland MASC (Mammary Analogue Secretory Carcinoma). This histology is not listed in ICD-O-3. Should we code as 8550/3 or 8502/3? Our pathologist said "that MASC is a recently descibed salivary gland tumor type which as the name implies resembles secretory carcinoma of the breast." Final Jan 16 2013
20130002 Multiple Primaries--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: This is a FOUR-PART question.

Based on the new Hematopoietic Rules, is the following scenario (see discussion) just ONE lymphoma case with follow-up for recurrences only? Or, do we abstract the transformation (2008) when the lymphoma recurs in 2010?

If the 2008 transformation is picked up as another primary, what is the accession year?

And to which primary would the 4/22/2010 recurrence apply?

See discussion.

Final Jan 16 2013
20130001 Reportability--Brain and CNS: Are any of these conditions reportable when they are found in the primary brain or CNS site?

9120/0 Hemangioma, NOS

9121/0 Cavernous hemangioma

9122/0 Venous hemangioma

Final Jan 16 2013
20120095 MP/H Rules/Multiple primaries--Breast: Regarding rule M6 in the breast MP/H rules, if a patient has a left breast inflammatory carcinoma (ductal with apocrine features on bx), and during work-up, an incidental 1.2 cm lobular carcinoma is discovered in the lateral right breast - localized without any skin involvement - does M6 still apply and this is considered a single primary? The managing physician seems to imply that these are 2 different primaries. However, rule M6 seems to state that inflammatory in either breast makes this a single primary. Final Jan 16 2013
20120094 Reportability: Given that per the 2012 SEER Manual and SINQ 20120081 VIN II-III is no longer reportable, does this also apply to AIN II-III, VAIN II-III, etc.? Or does this change only affect VIN II-III? See discussion. Final Jan 16 2013
20120093 MP/H Rules/Multiple primaries: How many primaries are to be abstracted and what rule applies when a patient has a serous carcinoma of the right ovary treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by a debulking surgery that also revealed a serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma of the left fallopian tube? See discussion. Final Dec 14 2012
