California Cancer Reporting System Standards Volume I: Abstracting and Coding Procedures for Hospitals
Due to ongoing studies, the CCR must continue to require that borderline ovarian tumors be reported for cases diagnosed January 1, 2010 and forward.
Recording Collaborative Staging data items will be simplified using the coding guidelines provided below that were developed with the assistance of the CCR's Cancer Epidemiology and Research Unit and regional registries.
In addition, active follow-up will no longer be required for cases diagnosed January 1, 2001 and forward. Follow-up will be obtained through passive follow-up linkages performed at the CCR. Reporting facilities may elect to continue conducting active follow-up on these cases. These cases will only be visually edited for failed electronic edits.

Although borderline ovarian tumors changed behavior in ICD-O-3 from /3 (malignant) to /1 (borderline), the CCR will continue to require reporting them. They are to be coded with a behavior code of /1.
As listed in Appendix 6 of the ICD-O-3 Code Manual, reportable borderline ovarian tumors include the following terms and morphology codes:
Description |
Code |
Serous cystadenoma, borderline malignancy |
8442/1 |
Serous tumor, NOS, of low malignant potential |
8442/1 |
Papillary cystadenoma, borderline malignancy |
8451/1 |
Serous papillary cystic tumor of borderline malignancy |
8462/1 |
Papillary serous cystadenoma, borderline malignancy |
8462/1 |
Papillary serous tumor of low malignant potential |
8462/1 |
Atypical proliferative papillary serous tumor |
8462/1 |
Serous surface papillary tumor of borderline malignancy |
8463/1 |
Mucinous cystic tumor of borderline malignancy |
8472/1 |
Mucinous cystadenoma, borderline malignancy |
8472/1 |
Pseudomucinous cystadenoma, borderline malignancy |
8472/1 |
Mucinous tumor, NOS, of low malignant potential |
8472/1 |
Papillary mucinous cystadenoma, borderline malignancy |
8473/1 |
Papillary pseudomucinous cystadenoma, borderline malignancy |
