C17.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of small intestine, unspecified . The code C17.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code C17.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like adenocarcinoma of small intestine, carcinoma of small intestine, follicular lymphoma of small intestine, leiomyosarcoma of small intestine, lymphoma of intestine , lymphoma of small bowel, etc.#N#The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic intestine, intestinal small .#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like C17.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

In oncology, small intestine cancer, also small bowel cancer and cancer of the small bowel, is a cancer of the small intestine. It is relatively rare compared to other gastrointestinal malignancies such as gastric cancer (stomach cancer) and colorectal cancer.

Adenocarcinomas, not otherwise specified, are characterized by columnar epithelial cells with elongated, pseudostratified nuclei forming complex glandular architecture with nuclear pleomorphism, loss of epithelial polarity and luminal dirty necrosis
Distal adenocarcinomas may manifest as annular narrowing with abrupt concentric or irregular overhanging edges , a discrete tumor mass or an ulcerative lesion , while duodenal adenocarcinomas tend to be papillary or polypoid on CT scan ( Radiographics 1998;18:379 )
Inflammatory, autoimmune, genetic and familial diseases have been recognized as common risk factors: Crohn's disease: the cumulative risk increases after 10 years of disease and there is an absolute risk of 2.2% at 25 years.
Adenocarcinomas most commonly occur in the jejunum and ileum and can arise from hamartomatous or adenomatous polyps. Lynch syndrome: there is a 4% lifetime risk ( Cancer 1998;83:240 ) Adenocarcinomas most commonly occur in the duodenum and jejunum. Other associations and risk factors include:
Cytology description. Cytopathologic analysis (FNA or brushing) is rarely used in the small intestine, except for occasionally diagnosing duodenal tumors in the ampullary or pyloric region. Malignant cells are arranged in loose 3 dimensional clusters of crowded epithelial cells without goblet cells.
Small bowel adenocarcinomas are histologically very similar to colorectal adenocarcinomas, with complex glandular formations. Gross identification of the tumor epicenter is essential in duodenal tumors that involve the ampulla to exclude a primary ampullary aden ocarcinoma or extension from pancreatic or bile duct malignancies.
If the physician documents a large intestine obstruction for example, and does not find a specific cause, then the unspecified code, K56.609, Unspecified intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction is assigned. There is no condition associated with it so it is unspecified.
So given the above, if a patient has intestinal obstruction due to adhesions, only code K56.50, intestinal adhesions [bands], unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction would be assigned, not two codes.
Mechanical bowel obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of the most common causes are: 1 Adhesions or scar tissue that forms after surgery 2 Foreign bodies (objects that are swallowed and block the intestines) 3 Gallstones (rare) 4 Hernias 5 Impacted stool 6 Intussusception (telescoping of one segment of bowel into another) 7 Tumors blocking the intestines 8 Volvulus (twisted intestine)
In addition, coders may see Excludes1 note at K56 that excludes intestinal obstruction with these conditions.
When there is a condition in which the bowel does not work correctly, but there is no structural problem causing it, it is called “ileus.”. We are going to talk about mechanical bowel obstruction in this coding tip. Mechanical bowel obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of the most common causes are:
This is to help relieve abdominal swelling (distention) and vomiting. Volvulus of the large bowel may be treated by passing a tube into the rectum.
In the past, bowel obstruction was almost always coded as a diagnosis as the physician usually addressed the condition and did work up as to the cause, many times addressing the cause also. However that has changed as the coder will see in this coding tip.
