**Note 2:** Mucosal melanomas occur throughout the mucosa of the lip and oral cavity (C000-C148) and the nasal cavity (C300), accessory sinuses (C310-C319) and the larynx (C320-C329). For a more detailed description of anatomy, refer to the appropriate Summary Stage 2018 schema based on the location of the mucosal melanoma.
**Note 3:** Code 1 for localized tumors when no other information is available or for extension involving the mucosa only of adjacent sites.
**Note 4:** Extension involving the deeper tissues of the primary or adjacent sites are either regional or distant, depending on the involvement.
* Code 2 for regional when the only information available is “deep tissue involvement.”
**Note 5:** The description of lymph nodes has been standardized across the head and neck schemas. Levels I-VII and the “other” lymph nodes are regional (code 3).
