Notes

Note 1 Physician Statement

  • Physician statement of extranodal extension (ENE) pathologically during a lymph node dissection or physician pathological stage indicating the absence or presence of ENE can be used to code this data item when no other information is available.

Note 2 Pathological assessment criteria

  • Code the status of ENE assessed on histopathologic examination of surgically resected involved regional lymph node(s)

  • Includes presence of ENE in a sentinel lymph node.

  • Do not code ENE from a lymph node biopsy (FNA, core, incisional), or the absence of ENE from a sentinel

Note 3 Regional vs. distant lymph nodes

  • Do not code ENE for any distant lymph nodes

Note 4 Minor and Major ENE

  • Minor ENE is defined as less than or equal to 2 mm

  • Major ENE is defined as greater than 2 mm

  • Matted lymph nodes and soft tissue metastasis are considered major ENE
