C7A. 1 - Malignant poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors | ICD-10-CM.
Neuroendocrine tumors are rare and can occur anywhere in the body. Most neuroendocrine tumors occur in the lungs, appendix, small intestine, rectum and pancreas.

A neuroendocrine tumour is a rare tumour that can develop in many different organs of the body. It affects the cells that release hormones into the bloodstream (neuroendocrine cells).
Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are rare tumors that can arise anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. They often present in advanced stage and portend a poor prognosis when compared to adenocarcinomas of the same stage.
Neuroendocrine tumors start in the pancreas, while carcinoid tumors commonly start in the lungs, small intestine, appendix, or rectum. Symptoms of neuroendocrine tumors include fatigue, loss of appetite, and unexplained weight loss.
Insulinoma. Insulinomas are the most common functioning pancreatic endocrine tumors.
Are all neuroendocrine tumors cancerous? The short answer is yes. In some of the older systems for classifying neuroendocrine tumors, pathologists would describe them as either “benign” (non-cancerous) or “malignant” (cancerous), based on the appearance of the tumor cells under a microscope.
ICD-10 CM Guidelines, may be found at the following website: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/Comprehensive-Listing-of-ICD-10-CM-Files.htm.
The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
The first new codes in ICD-10-CM 2021 are A84. 81 Powassan virus disease and A84. 89 Other tick-borne viral encephalitis. There are five more new codes under protozoal disease subcategory B60.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( D3A) and the excluded code together. benign pancreatic islet cell tumors (.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM D3A became effective on October 1, 2020.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
C7B.1. If a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) spreads, it can spread to the below sites and metastasis code should be from C7B series. Carcinoid malignancies aren't going to metastasize as another type of carcinoma. tissues or structures near the organ where the cancer started, such as the peritoneum, the pleura or fat tissue.
Neuroendocrine tumors are a rare type of tumor composed of cells that produce and secrete regulatory hormones.
Carcinoid tumors are one subset of tumors called neuroendocrine tumors, usually begin in the digestive tract (stomach, appendix, small intestine, colon, rectum) or in the lungs. When the documentation states only carcinoid tumor and does not provide enough information (site) to assign a more specific code.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. Code first - Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.
The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
No Map Flag - The no map flag indicates that a code in the source system is not linked to any code in the target system. Combination Flag - The combination flag indicates that more than one code in the target system is required to satisfy the full equivalent meaning of a code in the source system.
V10.91 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of personal history of malignant neuroendocrine tumor.
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate. Includes Notes - This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
