Pyriform Sinus, Hypopharynx, Laryngopharynx (excluding Malignant Melanoma)

Primary Site Histology Staging Type
C129-C132, C138-C139 8000-8576, 8940-8950, 8980-8981 TNM 7 and Summary Stage
C129-C132, C138-C139 8577-8713, 8800-8939, 8951-8979, 8982-9136, 9141-9582, 9700-9701 Summary Stage only

If you are working with a site/histology that only summary stages and you need to directly code it, please use the SEER Summary Stage 2000 manual

Notes

C129 Pyriform sinus
C130 Postcricoid region
C131 Hypopharyngeal aspect of aryepiglottic fold
C132 Posterior wall of hypopharynx
C138 Overlapping lesion of hypopharynx
C139 Hypopharynx, NOS (laryngopharynx)

Note 1: This schema is based on the UICC chapter Pharynx, pages 30-38.

  • Primary sites C138 and C139 are listed in the chapter heading but are not specified in the anatomic subsites in this chapter of the UICC manual; however, they are included in this schema and TNM staged if appropriate histology criteria are met

Note 2: In addition to directly assigning TNM, Summary Stage 2000 (SS2000) must be captured. If directly assigning SS2000, use the Pyriform Sinus, Hypopharynx, Laryngopharynx chapter on page 64 of the SS2000 on-line manual.
