Although these generic terms are not "good" diagnoses according to the pathologists, they are quite prevalent on cytology reports and death certificates, so we needed a place for them in ICD-O-3.

Stem cell leukemia had a code in ICD-O-1 and it has been returned to ICD-O-3.

NOS= Not Otherwise Specified

8046/3

Non-small cell carcinoma, NOS

8935/3

Stromal sarcoma, NOS

9473/3

PNET, NOS

9591/3

B-cell lymphoma, NOS

9702/3 T-cell lymphoma, NOS
9801/3 Stem cell leukemia

9860/3

Non-lymphocytic leukemia, NOS

It is hoped (and suggested) that these codes will be used to mark cases for more in depth analysis later to find a more precise diagnosis.
