Site-Specific Factor 4

Sarcomatoid Features

Notes

Note 1: Sarcomatoid morphology may be manifested by any renal cell carcinoma. The presence of sarcomatoid component in a renal cell carcinoma may be prognostically important.

Note 2: Record the presence or absence of sarcomatoid features as documented anywhere in the pathology report.

  • Assign code 000 if pathologic examination of the primary site is performed, the pathology report is available for review, and sarcomatoid features are not mentioned
