The vast majority of skin cancers are basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. While malignant, these are unlikely to spread to other parts of the body if treated early. They may be locally disfiguring if not treated early.
5: Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour: Skin.
Use the “uncertain” behavior diagnosis code when histologic confirmation whether the neoplasm is malignant or benign cannot be made by the pathologist. Look up the path report diagnosis in the ICD-10-CM Index to if you have a path report. Use D48. 5 is for uncertain behavior of the skin.
Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
