Question
Histology--Thyroid: What is the histology code for: poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma with rhabdoid phenotype arising in a papillary carcinoma?

Discussion


Answer
Code as papillary carcinoma, poorly differentiated, 8260/33. The WHO classification lists grade III papillary carcinoma as one of the synonyms for poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

"Rhabdoid phenotype" does not affect the histology code.
