**Nasal cavity and Paranasal Sinuses** 8000-8700, 8941, 8982 C300, C310-C311 C300 Nasal cavity (excluding nose, NOS C760) C310 Maxillary sinus C311 Ethmoid sinus **Note 1:** The following sources were used in the development of this chapter * SEER Extent of Disease 1988: Codes and Coding Instructions (3rd Edition, 1998) (https://seer.cancer.gov/archive/manuals/EOD10Dig.3rd.pdf) * SEER Summary Staging Manual-2000: Codes and Coding Instructions (https://seer.cancer.gov/tools/ssm/ssm2000/) * Collaborative Stage Data Collection System, version 02.05: https://cancerstaging.org/cstage/Pages/default.aspx * Chapter 12 *Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses*, in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Eighth Edition (2017) published by Springer International Publishing.

The roof of the nasal cavity is formed by the nasal bone. The floor of the nasal cavity, which forms the roof of the mouth, is composed of the bones of the hard palate: the horizontal plate of the palatine bone posteriorly and the palatine process of the maxilla anteriorly. **Note 4:** Involvement of or extension to bone includes any type of tumor extension to the bone, such as erosion, invasion, extension, penetration, or destruction. **Note 5:** "Bony invasion" does not include extension to palate, cribriform plate, or pterygoid plates. Extension to these structures is coded separately. **Note 6:** "Bony invasion" does include involvement of perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone or ethmoid air cells. **Note 7:** Code 2 for base of skull, NOS when there is no information available for more specific bony structures in the skull. **Note 8:** Minimal extension to anterior cranial fossa implies tumor pushing through the cribriform plate, but without invasion of the dura or brain.
