* Note: This is an obsolete diagnostic term. The condition should be correctly coded to 205.0, acute myelogenous leukemia neoplasms.

The following are exclusions and do not need to be reported to the MCR.

AMBIGUOUS TERMINOLOGY

• If a cytology is reported as suspicious, do not interpret it as a diagnosis of cancer. Abstract the case only if a positive biopsy or a physician's clinical impression of cancer supports the cytology findings.
• Genetic findings in the absence of pathologic or clinical evidence of reportable disease are indicative of risk only and do not constitute a diagnosis.

There are other ambiguous terms used by physicians that are related to staging. Some may indicate tumor involvement or extension, while others are not considered to be involvement. Refer to Collaborative Staging Manual and Coding Instructions, page I-20, for a listing of those terms.
