Disseminated malignant neoplasm, unspecified. C80.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM C80.0 became effective on October 1, 2018.
ICD-10-CM Chapter 2: Neoplasms (C00-D49) The neoplasm chapter contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms such as prostatic adenomas maybe found in the specific body system chapters.
Clinical Information. A condition in which cancer is spread widely throughout the body, or, in some cases, to a relatively large region of the body. Carcinoma that has spread diffusely to an anatomic site or throughout the body. ICD-10-CM C80.0 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0):
The peritoneum is a membrane that surrounds the organs inside the abdomen that makes ascitic fluid. This fluid is normal in the body, but cancer can cause the peritoneum to produce too much of this fluid. This is called "malignant ascites" and it is often a sign of advanced cancer.
ICD-10 code R18. 8 for Other ascites is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10-CM Code for Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified C80. 1.
ICD-10-CM Code for Intra-abdominal and pelvic swelling, mass and lump R19. 0.
Listen to pronunciation. (uh-SY-teez) Abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen that may cause swelling.
ICD-10 code E87. 70 for Fluid overload, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Definition. Cancer that is spread throughout the body, a metastatic phenomenon. [ from NCI]
Code C80. 1, Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified, equates to Cancer, unspecified. This code should only be used when no determination can be made as to the primary site of a malignancy.
Definition. A malignant tumor at the original site of growth. [ from NCI]
00 Intra-abdominal and pelvic swelling, mass and lump, unspecified site.
An intraabdominal mass is a space-occupying lesion within the abdominal cavity that appears either cystic or solid.
An intra-abdominal abscess is a collection of pus or infected fluid that is surrounded by inflamed tissue inside the belly. An intra-abdominal abscess may be caused by bacteria. If left untreated, the bacteria will multiply and cause inflammation and kill healthy tissue.
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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C80.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Undifferentiated large cell carcinomatosis. Widespread metastatic malignant neoplastic disease. Clinical Information. A condition in which cancer is spread widely throughout the body, or, in some cases, to a relatively large region of the body.
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. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
The neoplasm table in the Alphabetic Index should be referenced first. However, if the histological term is documented, that term should be referenced first, rather than going immediately to the Neoplasm Table, in order to determine which column in the Neoplasm Table is appropriate. Alphabetic Index to review the entries under this term and the instructional note to “see also neoplasm, by site, benign.” The table provides the proper code based on the type of neoplasm and the site. It is important to select the proper column in the table that corresponds to the type of neoplasm. The Tabular List should then be referenced to verify that the correct code has been selected from the table and that a more specific site code does not exist.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
When the reason for admission/encounter is to determine the extent of the malignancy, or for a procedure such as paracentesis or thoracentesis, the primary malignancy or appropriate metastatic site is designated as the principal or first-listed diagnosis, even though chemotherapy or radiotherapy is administered.
When a patient is admitted because of a primary neoplasm with metastasis and treatment is directed toward the secondary site only , the secondary neoplasm is designated as the principal diagnosis even though the primary malignancy is still present .
Secondary malignant neoplasm of periadrenal tissue (disorder) Secondary malignant neoplasm of skin of axilla (disorder) Metastasis to heart of unknown primary (disorder) Metastasis to small intestine of unknown primary (disorder) Metastasis to vertebral column of unknown primary (disorder)
DRG Group #826-830 - Myeloprolif disord or poorly differentiated neoplasms with other operating room procedure without CC or MCC.
When the histological type of neoplasm is documented, reference the Alphabetic Index first rather than going immediately to the Neoplasm Table.
Diabetes mellitus codes are combination codes that include the type of diabetes as well as the body system involved and complications affecting the body system.
An "Uncertain" neoplasm is one that is not clearly benign or malignant.
When reporting an infection, other than Staphylococcus aureus, that is antibiotic resistant, report the infection first followed by a code from category Z16, Infection with drug resistant microorganisms.
The Neoplasm Table gives the code numbers for neoplasm by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in-situ, of uncertain behavior or of unspecified nature. When such descriptors are not present, the reminder of the alphabetical index should be consulted.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4: Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Disease may be used to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
Classification of neoplasms is primarily by site ( topography) with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code.
The neoplasm chapter contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms such as prostatic adenomas maybe found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant or of uncertain histologic behavior.
When admission/encounter is for management of an anemia associated with the malignancy, and the treatment is only for anemia, the appropriate code for the malignancy is sequenced as the principal or first-listed diagnosis followed by code D63.0, Anemia in neoplastic disease.
Chapter 2 in ICD-10-CM contains more than 1,540 codes found in categories C00–D49, starting with category C00, which contains codes for malignant neoplasm of the lip.
ICD-10-CM codes provide greater detail than ICD-9-CM codes for reporting neoplasms. In many instances, ICD-10-CM neoplasm codes can provide information on whether a neoplasm occurred in a right-sided or left-sided body part. ICD-10-CM also provides codes for reporting neoplasm sites with greater precision. In some instances, ICD-10-CM provides greater detail on the type of neoplasm for malignant neoplasms and for benign and other histologic behaviors.
In ICD-9-CM both polycythemia and polycythemia vera are reported with code 238.4 from chapter 2, "Neoplasms." If the physician documents secondary polycythemia, then ICD-9-CM code 289.0 from the "Diseases of the Blood and Blood-forming Organs" chapter is reported.
In ICD-9-CM, vera is a nonessential modifier to polycythemia. That is not the case in ICD-10-CM, where polycythemia vera is coded differently than polycythemia.
