Carcinomas of the Appendix (excluding Carcinoid Tumor and Neuroendocrine Carcinoma)

Primary Site Histology Staging Type
C181 8000-8152, 8154-8231, 8243-8245, 8247-8248, 8250-8576, 8940-8950, 8980-8981 TNM 7 and Summary Stage
C181 8577-8934, 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

C181 Appendix **Note 1:** This schema is based on the UICC chapter *Appendix-Carcinoma,* pages 86-90. **Note 2:** Carcinoid tumor and neuroendocrine carcinoma (histology codes 8153, 8240-8242, 8246, 8249) of the appendix are included in the "CarcinoidAppendix" schema. **Note 3:** In addition to directly assigning TNM, Summary Stage 2000 (SS2000) must be captured. If directly assigning SS2000, use the *Colon* chapter on page 94 of the [SS2000 on-line manual](https://seer.cancer.gov/tools/ssm/ssm2000/SSSM2000-122012.pdf#page=94).
