Listen to pronunciation. (KAR-sih-NOH-muh-TOH-sis) A serious condition in which cancer cells from an original (primary) tumor spread to form many tumors throughout the body or to a large area of the body. In most cases, carcinomatosis is a sign that the cancer is getting worse and cannot be cured.
Generally speaking, metastatic cancer involves cancer that spreads into tissue that surrounds the original tumor or to more distant parts of your body. Carcinomatosis happens when your original cancer spreads, scattering several tumors in a widespread area of your body.
Cancer cells from a primary tumor may spread to other parts of the body and form new, or secondary, tumors. This is called metastasis. These secondary tumors are the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. Also called primary cancer.
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. 51, C80.
ICD-10-CM Code for Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified C80. 1.
Secondary malignant neoplasm is a malignant tumor whose cause is the treatment (usually radiation or chemotherapy) which was used for a prior tumor. It must be distinguished from Metastasis from the prior tumor or a relapse from it since a secondary malignant neoplasm is a different tumor. Secondary malignant neoplasm.
Metastatic squamous neck cancer with occult primary is a disease in which squamous cell cancer spreads to lymph nodes in the neck and it is not known where the cancer first formed in the body. Signs and symptoms of metastatic squamous neck cancer with occult primary include a lump or pain in the neck or throat.
A malignant neoplasm (NEE-oh-plaz-um) is another term for a cancerous tumor. The term “neoplasm” refers to an abnormal growth of tissue. The term “malignant” means the tumor is cancerous and is likely to spread (metastasize) beyond its point of origin.
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.
Undifferentiated large cell carcinomatosis. Widespread metastatic malignant neoplastic disease. Clinical Information. A condition in which cancer is spread widely throughout the body, or, in some cases, to a relatively large region 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.
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, ...
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy .
Use a malignant neoplasm code if the patient has evidence of the disease, primary or secondary, or if the patient is still receiving treatment for the disease. If neither of those is true, then report personal history of malignant neoplasm.
Uncertain diagnosis. Do not code diagnoses documented as “probable”, “suspected,” “questionable,” “rule out,” or “working diagnosis” or other similar terms indicating uncertainty. Rather, code the condition (s) to the highest degree of certainty for that encounter/visit, such as symptoms, signs, abnormal test results, or other reason for the visit. ...
