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.
Secondary brain cancer is when a cancer that started somewhere else in the body has spread to the brain.

What is dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor? A dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET) is a low-grade, slow-growing brain tumor. It is a glioneuronal tumor, which means it contains properties of both glial and neuronal cells.
Grade 3. Anaplastic Astrocytoma is considered a more malignant evolution of a previously lower grade astrocytoma, which has acquired more aggressive features, including a higher pace of growth and more invasion into the brain.
Extracranial metastases of malignant gliomas are reported to occur in approximately 0.5% of cases [18]. This low incidence rate may be related to the short lifespans of patients with glioma, or to intrinsic biological obstacles that prevent tumor cells from infiltrating and surviving beyond the neural environment.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like C71.9 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.
C71.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of brain, unspecified. The code C71.9 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 C71.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like anaplastic astrocytoma of brain, anaplastic astrocytoma of central nervous system, anaplastic glioma of brain, astroblastoma of brain, astrocytoma of brain , carcinoma of brain, etc.#N#The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cranial (fossa, any) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fossa (of) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fossa (of) anterior (cranial) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fossa (of) cranial ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fossa (of) middle (cranial) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fossa (of) posterior (cranial) ; etc#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like C71.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition.

astroblastoma is a rare glial tumor derived from the astroblast, a type of cell that closely resembles spongioblastoma and astrocytes. astroblastoma cells are most likely found in the supratentorial region of the brain that houses the cerebrum, an area responsible for all voluntary movements in the body.
