Site-Specific Factor 5
Carcinoma ex Pleomorphic Adenoma, Invasion Beyond Capsule
Notes
**Note 1:** Code only for cases described as arising from a benign pleomorphic adenoma. The diagnosis may be stated as carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma or carcinoma arising from a mixed tumor or mixed tumor of salivary gland type. The histology code assigned to the case may be 8941/3, or other codes for carcinoma. Extent of invasion beyond capsule is a prognostic factor for these glandular tumors. **Note 2:** Use code 000 for no invasion beyond capsule. Use codes 001-979 if specific measurement is given for invasion beyond capsule. Use code 990 if invasion is only described as "minimally invasive" or "less than 1.5mm" or "less than or equal to 1.5 mm". **Note 3:** Use code 987 for all cases with pathologic examination of primary site not described as arising from a benign adenoma. Use code 998 if no pathologic examination of primary site.Default
