Malignant melanoma of nose. C43.31 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 C43.31 became effective on October 1, 2018.
A melanoma of the skin characterized by the presence of melanoma cells in the dermal-epidermal junction only, without infiltration of the papillary or reticular dermis. Abnormal melanocytes (cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color) are found in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin).
Several histologic variants have been recognized, including superficial spreading melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, nodular melanoma, and lentigo maligna melanoma. ICD-10-CM C43.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 595 Major skin disorders with mcc 596 Major skin disorders without mcc
ICD-10 code C43. 9 for Malignant melanoma of skin, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
ICD-10 code C44. 311 for Basal cell carcinoma of skin of nose is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
In ICD-10-CM, melanoma is differentiated as melanoma or melanoma in situ. Melanoma is reported with codes from category C43, while melanoma in situ is reported with codes in category D03.
ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified malignant neoplasm of skin of nose C44. 301.
Basal cell carcinoma. A smooth, pearly tumor with telangiectasia (tiny blood vessels) on the nose. Tumor feels hard, is well defined, and is asymptomatic. It bleeds easily if scraped.
At first, a basal cell carcinoma comes up like a small "pearly" bump that looks like a flesh-colored mole or a pimple that doesn't go away. Sometimes these growths can look dark. Or you may also see shiny pink or red patches that are slightly scaly. Another symptom to watch out for is a waxy, hard skin growth.
D03. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The rest of the solid tumors arise in the brain, central nervous system, or in the eye. Melanoma—skin malignancy. It can also form in the eyes, and, rarely, in internal organs. Germ cell tumors—usually arise in the ovaries and testes, but can also occur in the brain, abdomen, or chest.

C71. 9 - Malignant neoplasm of brain, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
(NEE-oh-PLA-zum) An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. 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.
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.
Secondary malignant melanoma of skin. Superficial spreading malignant melanoma of skin. Clinical Information. A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in the skin.
A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in the skin. Precursor lesions include acquired and congenital melanocytic nevi, and dysplastic nevi. Several histologic variants have been recognized, including superficial spreading melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, nodular melanoma, and lentigo maligna melanoma.
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, ...
C43.31 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant melanoma of nose. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Melanomas typically occur in the skin but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. In women they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back.

Malignant melanoma is malignant neoplasm of melanin (brown pigment producing) cells, described as having invaded the dermis or as one of the following stages: Stage I – Localized. Stage IA – Less than 1.0 mm thick, no ulceration, no lymph node involvement, no distant metastases.
Melanoma in situ is malignant neoplasm of melanin (brown pigment producing) cells, documented as in situ. This includes melanoma described as follows:
Patients with melanoma in situ are classified as TIS (tumor in situ). The tumor is limited to the top layer of the skin (epidermis) with no evidence of invasion of dermis, surrounding tissues, lymph nodes or distant sites. Melanoma in situ presents very low risk for recurrence or metastasis.
