Malignant Melanoma of Lower Gum and Retromolar Area

Primary Site Histology Staging Type
C031, C062 8720-8790 TNM 7 and Summary Stage

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

C031 Lower gum C062 Retromolar area **Note 1:** This schema is based on the UICC chapter *Malignant Melanoma of Upper Aerodigestive Tract,* pages 51-53. **Note 2:** In addition to directly assigning TNM, Summary Stage 2000 (SS2000) must be captured. If directly assigning SS2000, use the *Gum (Gingiva), Retromolar area* chapter on page 40 of the [SS2000 on-line manual](https://seer.cancer.gov/tools/ssm/ssm2000/SSSM2000-122012.pdf#page=40).
