Urologic Terms
WHO/ISUP Consensus
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Urologic Pathologists (ISUP) published a consensus paper in 1998 about proper terminology for various types of bladder tumors. ICD-O-3 has added their preferred terminology.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 8120/1 | Transitional cell papilloma, NOS (C67._) |
| 8120/2 | Urothelial carcinoma in situ |
| 8121/1 | Transitional papilloma, inverted, NOS |
| 8121/1 | Columnar cell papilloma |
| 8122/3 | Transitional cell carcinoma, spindle cell Transitional cell carcinoma, sarcomatoid |
New Urologic Terms
There are many new synonyms for the papillary bladder tumors. Also important is that the code for PTCC, 8130/2 will be printed in ICD-O-3 and will not have to be created from the matrix principle. This should relieve some of the edit checks that result from non-invasive bladder tumor cases.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 8130/1 | Papillary transitional cell neoplasm of low malignant potential (C67._) Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (C67._) |
| 8130/2 | Papillary transitional cell carcinoma, non-invasive (C67._) Papillary urothelial carcinoma, non-invasive (C67._) |
| 8130/3 | Papillary transitional cell carcinoma (C67._) Papillary urothelial carcinoma (C67._) |
| 8131/3 | Transitional cell carcinoma, micropapillary (C67._) |
