| 20130030 | Histology--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: In our database we have a patient diagnosed with 9684/3, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), immunoblastic, in 2009. His 2010 recurrence at another hospital was called plasmablastic lymphoma and coded to 9735/3 per the 2010 Hemato database. I would like to know which code you would like to see on the merged records? Since 9684/3 is now listed as 'obsolete' I would prefer to use 9735/3. Do you agree that 9735/3 is the better code for the merged tumor record? Thanks. | Final | May 02 2013 | ||||
| 20130029 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Not sure if this should be registered or not, please advise. Bone marrow: post polycythemic myelofibrosis JAK2 mutations present confirming diagnosis of post polycythemic myelofibrosis. Patient does have history of polycythemia vera (PV). If this is to be registered what histology code? |

| 20130021 | Histology/Grade--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Why is the classification change not explained in the hematopoietic database abstractor notes for follicular lymphoma (FL) (grade 1, 2, or 3)? If grade 1 is not being seperated from grade 2 and any FL with even a few centroblasts is being labelled as such, when will grade 1 be used on it's own? See discussion. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
| 20130020 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: We have two 2013 cases with the diagnosis of aplastic anemia - which does not come up in the Hematopoietic database. Is it an alternative name for refractory anemia? Is it reportable? | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
| 20130019 | Primary site--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: When a patient has a positive lymph node biopsy and peripheral blood for B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, but refuses bone marrow biopsy, what is the primary site? Rule PH8 is confusing to me because this actually fits both bulleted statements. I am leaning toward C421, but can you please confirm? | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
| 20130018 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: If a patient has a diagnosis of 'thrombocytosis' or 'thrombocythemia,' it is NOT reportable unless it states 'essential or malignant' -- Correct? I've recently been assigned to do all hematopoetic cases for my hospital system and I want to be sure this is correct. We see a lot of 'thrombocythemia' but I don't often see any stated as 'essential thrombocythemia.' |

| 20130017 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is reactive thrombocytosis reportable? See discussion. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
| 20130015 | Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: I have seen an increase in the coding of essential thrombocytopenia. Many times it has been coded based on blood counts. I have also seen discharge summaries that say thrombocytosis and they get coded to essential thrombocytopenia. I need clarification on which cases should be reported. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
| 20130014 | Reportability-Heme & Lymphoid Neoplams: Is Castleman disease reportable 2010 and later? When you type it in the Hematopoietic Database, it states that it is reportable - 9738/3, but when I researched it online, it states that Castleman disease is a very rare disorder characterized by non-cancerous growths (tumors). | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
| 20130013 | Reportability-Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome(MCAS)reportable? Our coders are giving it an ICD-9 code of 202.60, but the doctors say in the progress note that it is not the same as systemic mastocytosis. I can't find a listing for MCAS in the Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Database. | Final | Apr 26 2013 | ||||
