Notes
**Note:** Extrathyroidal extension includes minor (microscopic) extension through the thyroid capsule which is identified only on microscopic examination (see code 200) to gross (macroscopic) extrathyroidal extension, which is documented in the operative report and involves major structures (see codes 300, 400, 600, and 700). * If the only information available is “extrathyroidal extension” and cannot determine whether it is microscopic or gross, code 200. * If the only information is “gross extrathyroidal extension” and the involvement of major structures cannot be determined, code 750.Default
