Introduction. Splenic flexure cancer (SFC) is defined as a colon cancer situated in the distal third of the transverse colon, or in the left colonic corner, or in the proximal descending colon within 10 cm from the flexure1. It is relatively rare and represent only 1–8% of all colon cancers2,3.Jul 29, 2019

There are two colic flexures, or curvatures in the transverse colon. The one on the right, the right colic flexure is also known as the hepatic flexure. The one on the left, the left colic flexure is also known as the splenic flexure.
One patient with anastomotic leakage healed within 3 weeks. Other patients were cured without postoperative complications. The total 3-year and 5-year survival rates after surgery were 53.8% and 9.2%, respectively.
The splenic flexure is a part of your colon, or your large intestine, where it bends near your spleen, an organ that mainly filters your blood. It's also the place where many blood vessels come together.Apr 12, 2021
Carcinoma of the colon is assigned to code 230.3 while carcinoma of the rectum goes to 230.4. Patients may not experience any symptoms of early-stage cancer.Jul 30, 2012
Malignant neoplasm of liver, not specified as primary or secondary. C22. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Metastasis means that the cancer cells have spread beyond the colon to other organs. This is also referred to as advanced colon cancer or stage IV colon cancer. Your treatment options will depend on several factors, including the extent of the cancer and what other organs it has spread to.
Colorectal cancer (also known as colon cancer, rectal cancer, or bowel cancer) is the development of cancer in the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 153.0 was previously used, C18.3 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
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, ...
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 code C18.3 is included in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.#N#Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.
It is common in both men and women. The risk of developing colorectal cancer rises after age 50. You're also more likely to get it if you have colorectal polyps, a family history of colorectal cancer, ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, eat a diet high in fat, or smoke. Symptoms of colorectal cancer include.
