SNOMED codes with abbreviated descriptions

Just pointing out that the following valid,standard SNOMED concepts all have the same concept_name
concept_code concept_name concept_id
402556000 Malignant melanoma 4299429
402558004 Malignant melanoma 4291272
372244006 Malignant melanoma 4162276
Making it impossible to distinguish, yet when looked up on line I get
402556000 Malignant melanoma (radial growth phase) (disorder)
402558004 Malignant melanoma (vertical growth phase) (disorder)
372244006 Malignant melanoma (disorder)

@DTorok:

Yes, known problem of SNOMED. Will need to fix on our side (just pick one by some hierarchy based heuristic).
