Discussion Answer Assign code 8260/3 [Papillary adenocarcinoma] according to rule H14. For thyroid cancer only, the term micropapillary does not refer to a specific histologic type. It means that the papillary portion of the tumor is minimal or occult, usually less than 1 cm. in diameter. History Last Updated 12/03/08 | |
