SS2018 Description
0 In situ, intraepithelial, noninvasive - Acellular mucin or mucinous epithelium may invade into the muscularis propria - (Adeno) carcinoma, noninvasive, in a polyp or adenoma - Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm confined by the muscularis propria (LAMN)
1 Localized only (localized, NOS) - Confined to appendix, NOS - Confined to polyp, NOS - Extension through wall, NOS - Invasion through muscularis propria - Lamina propria - Mucosa (intramucosal, NOS) - Muscularis mucosae - Non-peritonealized pericolic tissues invaded - Perimuscular tissue invaded - Submucosa - Subserosa - Transmural, NOS - Wall, NOS
2 Regional by direct extension only - Abdominal wall - Adherent to other organs or structures - Adjacent tissue(s), NOS - Connective tissue - Fat, NOS - Greater omentum - Mesenteric fat - Mesentery - Mesoappendix - Pericolic fat - Retroperitoneum - Serosa (mesothelium) (visceral peritoneum) - Small intestine - Tumor found in adhesion(s) if microscopic examination performed
3 Regional lymph node(s) involved only - Cecal + Anterior (prececal) + Posterior (retrocecal) + Right colic - Colic, NOS - Epicolic (adjacent to bowel wall) - Ileocolic - Mesenteric, NOS - Mesocolic, NOS - Paracolic/pericolic - Regional lymph node(s), NOS + Lymph node(s), NOS
4 Regional by BOTH direct extension AND regional lymph node(s) involved - Codes (2) + (3)
7 Distant site(s)/lymph node(s) involved - Distant site(s) (including further contiguous extension) + Adrenal (suprarenal) gland + Bladder + Diaphragm + Fallopian tube + Fistula to skin + Gallbladder + Intraperitoneal spread/peritoneal metastasis + Kidney + Liver + Other segment(s) of colon/rectum via serosa + Ovary + Ureter + Uterus - Distant lymph node(s), NOS + Inferior mesenteric + Superior mesenteric - Distant metastasis, NOS + Carcinomatosis + Distant metastasis WITH or WITHOUT distant lymph node(s)
9 Unknown if extension or metastasis
