CS Lymph Nodes

Note 1: Code only regional nodes and nodes, NOS in this field. Distant nodes are coded in CS Mets at DX.
Note 2: Inferior mesenteric nodes are coded in CS Mets at DX for cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, and hepatic flexure . Superior mesenteric nodes are coded in CS Mets at DX for all colon sites. Mesenteric node(s), NOS are coded in CS Lymph Nodes.
Note 3: Nodal metastasis is very rare in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and surgeons generally agree that nodal dissection is not indicated. In the absence of information on regional lymph node status, N0 is appropriate; code 999 is mapped to N0 accordingly.

Code	Description	TNM 7 Map	TNM 6 Map	SS77 Map	SS2000 Map
000	No regional lymph node involvement	N0	NA	NONE	NONE
050	Nodule(s) or foci in pericolic fat/adjacent mesentery/mesocolic fat	N1	NA	RN	RN
100	OBSOLETE DATA RETAINED AND REVIEWED V0203 Code 100 was defined as "Regional lymph nodes for all colon sites: Colic (NOS), Epicolic (adjacent to bowel wall), Mesocolic (NOS), Paracolic/pericolic, Nodule(s) or foci in pericolic fat/adjacent mesentery/mesocolic fat" in CSv1. Code 100 was defined as "Regional lymph nodes for all colon sites: Colic (NOS), Epicolic (adjacent to bowel wall), Mesocolic (NOS), Paracolic/pericolic" in CSv2:V0201, V0202. All cases should be reviewed and recoded to appropriate codes; see codes 050 and 110.
