colon neoplasms
When told you have invasive adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated tubular adenoma arising in covers?
involving cautery after had a polypectomy, Exactly what keywords I'm looking to see if it has metastasized, and that bodies could potentially have migrated to? and why the diagnostic report read 2 ICD codes, ie 153.9 neopren colon and unspec malignant neoplasm of colon 211.3. Is it me or is medical industry that Rush are not able to answer questions like this???? Panda, I sure hope that you, Thank you all
From what you wrote it is impossible to say if the tumor has spread. Just say he had a benign polyp (tubular adenoma), which was malignant. From my experience as a pathologist, polyps malignant colon go quite frequently. Moderately differentiated means that the tumor is very aggressive, as a distinct low. For metastasis, will undergo CT scan or MRI looking for lymph node involvement and possible metastases in the liver, lung, peritoneum. The diagnosis is achieved with 2 codes because it has both a benign (tubular adenoma) and a malignant tumor (adenocarcinoma). Good luck
