C79. 51 - Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone. ICD-10-CM.
Almost all cancers can spread to the bone, but cancers that often spread there include breast, lung, prostate, kidney, melanoma, ovarian, and thyroid. The spine is the most common site for bone metastases.
If the site of the primary cancer is not documented, the coder will assign a code for the metastasis first, followed by C80. 1 malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified. For example, if the patient was being treated for metastatic bone cancer, but the primary malignancy site is not documented, assign C79.

Overview. Bone metastasis occurs when cancer cells spread from their original site to a bone. Nearly all types of cancer can spread (metastasize) to the bones. But some types of cancer are particularly likely to spread to bone, including breast cancer and prostate cancer.
Types of bone metastasis Osteolytic, characterized by destruction of normal bone, present in multiple myeloma (MM), renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, non-hodgkin lymphoma, thyroid cancer or langerhans-cell histiocytosis. The great majority of BC produces osteolytic metastases.
C80. 1 - Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Z85. 3 can be billed as a primary diagnosis if that is the reason for the visit, but follow up after completed treatment for cancer should coded as Z08 as the primary diagnosis.

C79. 51 Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
11 or Z51. 12 is the only diagnosis on the line, then the procedure or service will be denied because this diagnosis should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis. When the Primary, First-Listed, Principal or Only diagnosis code is a Sequela diagnosis code, then the claim line will be denied.
6. 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.
The most common symptom of bone metastasis is pain. Other symptoms are bone fractures, spinal cord compression and anemia.Pain. Pain is usually the first symptom patients notice. ... Bone Fracture. Too much force or stress on a bone will lead to fracture. ... Spinal Cord Compression. ... Other Symptoms.
Most patients with metastatic bone disease survive for 6-48 months. In general, patients with breast and prostate carcinoma live longer than those with lung carcinoma. Patients with renal cell or thyroid carcinoma have a variable life expectancy.

When cancer cells metastasize to the bone, they can cause changes to the bone. The process by which portions of the bone are damaged is called osteolysis. Oftentimes, small holes result from osteolysis. These holes in the bone are referred to as osteolytic lesions or lytic lesions.
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.

Ewing's sarcoma or Ewing sarcoma (/ˈjuːɪŋ/) is a malignant small, round, blue cell tumor. It is a rare disease in which cancer cells are found in the bone or in soft tissue. The most common areas in which it occurs are the pelvis, the femur, the humerus, the ribs and clavicle (collar bone).

There are three main categories for skin neoplasms in ICD-10-CM. C43 is for malignant melanomas, C4a for Merkel cell carcinoma and C44 for other and unspecified malignant neoplasms of skin. Laterality codes apply to many of the skin sites (0 = unspecified, 1 = right, 2 = left).
For Kaposi sarcoma, there are 8 codes in the ICD-10-CM. The codes breakdown the site of the Kaposi sarcoma.
In the example provided here, there is a left UOQ female breast cancer patient with positive lymph nodes coded using ICD-10-CM - 50.412 code and the appropriate lymph node code, which is C77.3, Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of axilla and upper limb lymph nodes.
For mesothelial and soft tissue cancers, there are 5 codes in the ICD-10-CM with 4 of the codes designating the location of the mesothelioma.
For liver cancers, there are eight codes in the ICD-10-CM, with 6 of the codes designating a specified histology.
Secondary neoplasms are those that are not the primary. Many of these include metastatic disease and may be coded in addition to the primary neoplasm code.
