To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of D41.2 that describes the diagnosis 'neoplasm of uncertain behavior of ureter' in more detail. The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code D41.2.
Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of left ureter. D41.22 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM D41.22 became effective on October 1, 2019.

D41. 1 - Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of renal pelvis. ICD-10-CM.
When the behavior of a tumor cannot be predicted through pathology, it is called a neoplasm of uncertain behavior. These are neoplasms which are currently benign but have characteristics that make it possible for the tumor to become malignant.
Providers routinely do not have all the information needed to make a final diagnosis. Consequently, an “unspecified” condition is reported while awaiting additional information. “Neoplasm of uncertain behavior” is frequently documented to describe a mass that is awaiting confirmatory biopsy results.

ICD-10 Code for Neoplasm of uncertain behavior, unspecified- D48. 9- Codify by AAPC.
Uncertain has a specific meaning in ICD-10. It means that the specimen has been examined by the pathologist and it can't be determined if the neoplasm is benign or malignant. An uncertain neoplasm is reported after the pathologist's report, not when sending the specimen for biopsy.
k. 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.
Listen to pronunciation. (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).
An “unspecified” code means that the condition is unknown at the time of coding. An “unspecified” diagnosis may be coded more specifically later, if more information is obtained about the patient's condition.
Cancer of the ureter (ureteral cancer) is an abnormal growth of cells on the inside lining of the tubes (ureters) that connect your kidneys to your bladder. Ureters are part of the urinary tract, and they carry urine produced by the kidneys to the bladder. Ureteral cancer is uncommon.
(YOOR-oh-THEE-lee-ul KAN-ser) Cancer that begins in cells called urothelial cells that line the urethra, bladder, ureters, renal pelvis, and some other organs. Urothelial cells are also called transitional cells. These cells can change shape and stretch without breaking apart. Also called transitional cell cancer.
The ureteric orifice is the slit of the ureter at the lumen of the urinary bladder. The ureter is a simple tubular organ. It consists of a tunica adventitia, the tunica muscularis, and a tunica mucosa. The mucosa of the ureter consists of transitional epithelium and its lumen has a characteristic star shape (Fig.
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 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.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code D41.12 and a single ICD9 code, 236.91 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
