CS Extension--Notes1. Ascites
Positive ascites changes stages I and II to IC and IIC.
Disregard negative ascites or ascites, NOS
2. Pelvic organs* coded to 50-65 (FIGO Stage II) Adnexa, bladder (including serosa), uterine
ligaments, cul de sac, fallopian tubes, parametrium, pelvic peritoneum, pelvic wall, rectum, sigmoid colon, ureter, uterus, uterine serosa
5. Abdominal organs* coded to 70-75 (FIGO III) Abdominal mesentery, diaphragm, gallbladder,
infracolic omentum, kidneys, large intestine except rectum and sigmoid, peritoneal surface of liver, omentum, pancreas, pericolic gutter, peritoneum, NOS, small intestine, spleen, stomach, ureters
* Involvement may be direct or discontinuous
CS Ovary Coding 2005
CS Extension--Notes6. Liver parenchymal metastases are coded
in Mets at Dx.
Implants (discontinuous metastases)Other names: seeding, salting, studding, talcum powder appearance
4. Determine whether implants are in pelvis (code 60-64) or abdomen (code 70-73) or unspecified (code 75)
5. Implants outside the pelvis must be microscopically confirmed and coded by size70 Microscopic only71 Macroscopic < 2 cm72 Macroscopic > 2 cm73 Mets outside pelvis, size not stated75 Peritoneal implants, NOS [not stated as pelvic
or abdominal]

CS Lymph Nodes--Notes
1. Code distant nodes in Mets at Dx.2. If there is a statement that “adnexa
palpated” with no mention of lymph nodes, assume lymph nodes are not involved (code 00).
3. If exploratory or definitive surgery with no mention of nodes, assume nodes are negative (00).
4. Regional nodes include bilateral and contralateral involvement of named nodes.

ultrasound. No further tests. Laparotomy, RSO, and random biopsies: tumor confined to ovary,
capsule intact.

Ovarian CancerCase Study 2: Malignant ascites Pt had vague abdominal symptoms. Pelvic exam
showed right ovary mass. Oophorectomy and Bxs: Adenoca in right ovary and in tumor implants on R fallopian tube. Peritoneal washings positive.
