Hi,
I have question as I am coding a chart which indicates "recurrent and metastatic uterine adenocarcinoma with metatasis to the lung"
The lung is secondary correct? the uterine is primary? But if the patient had a Total Hysterectomy years ago for the CA and the record indicates that it has recurred? Is this still coded as a Uterine Ca?
I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for your input.
