Why ICD-10 codes are important
• Metastasis to esophagus typically from breast or lung. Esophageal cancer is classified to ICD-9-CM category 150.

The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

What is an esophageal stricture? The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mounth to the stomach and is the conduit for food bolus to pass from the throat to the stomach. An esophageal stricture is a narrowing of the esophagus (see figure).
Esophageal stenosis is a narrowing of the esophagus that can be more frequently found in the middle to distal third of the esophagus and presents as a web (membranous diaphragm) or a long segment of narrowed esophagus (fibromuscular stenosis).
Esophageal motility refers to contractions occurring in the esophagus, which propel the food bolus forward toward the stomach. When contractions in the esophagus become irregular, unsynchronized or absent, the patient is said to have esophageal dysmotility. Furthermore, what is Presbyesophagus?
Presbyesophagus is a term used to describe an abnormal shape of the swallowing tube (esophagus) that occurs in some individuals. In this situation, the esophagus appears wavier than a typically straight esophagus. This change may impact esophageal movement (motility).
