- Neoplasm and tumor ARE REPORTABLE terms for intracranial and CNS because they are listed in ICD-O with behavior codes of /0 and /1
- MASS and LESION are NON reportable terms for intracranial and CNS because they are NOT listed in ICD-O with behavior codes of /0 or /1

Effective January 1, 2023 report the following w/ the corresponding M-code:
- Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB- OR MYBL1-altered (9421/1)
- Diffuse low-grade glioma, MAPK pathway-altered (9421/1)
- Multinodular AND vacuolating neuronal tumor (9509/0)

Positive urine cytologies: Effective 2013, these should be reported if they document the presence of “positive malignant cells” or “(malignant) cells interpreted as carcinoma” and should be coded to C68.9 Urinary System NOS in the absence of any other information on the site of origin.

Two exceptions to the instructions about reporting positive urine cytologies:

If the positive urine cytology is later followed by a negative tissue biopsyof a urinary site, DO NOT REPORT, as the pathology proved the cytology to be incorrect. The pathologic diagnosis is the “gold standard.” When cytology and pathology disagree, always use the pathology. (SEER SINQ 20100106 & 20120079)
Urine cytologies utilizing ambiguous terminologyare not reportable.For example, do not report a urine cytology that is “suspicious for malignant cells.”

Non-reportable Diagnoses

The following are not reportable:

Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, grade III (PIN III—after 1/1/2001)
Squamous intraepithelial neoplasia of the cervix (CIN III—effective 1996-2008 only)

Colon atypical hyperplasia
High grade dysplasia OR Intraepithelial neoplasia, high grade ONLY in COLORECTAL primary sites

Certain Hematopoietic Diseases–there are several Hematopoietic diseases that are similar to reportable Hematopoietic neoplasms. Refer to the SEER Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Database to determine reportability
Skin cancers (C44._ range only) with histologies 8000-8005, 8010-8046, 8050-8084, and 8090-8110. These include, but are not limited to, basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, as well as, squamous intraepithelial neoplasia III (SIN III) (8077) of skin sites coded to C44._

Note 1: All skin cancers (C44._ range) with histologies other than those listed above must be reported.

Note 2: Skin cancers, regardless of histology, must be reported if they are NOT in the C44._ range. This includes the following:
