Codes for benign adenomatous polyp of the colon are found in the neoplasm chapter of ICD-10-CM, by location: D12.0 Benign neoplasm of cecum D12.1 Benign neoplasm of appendix D12.2 Benign neoplasm of ascending colon
The physician finds and snares a tubular adenoma in the cecum. Because this is a screening, the primary diagnosis is Z12.11 Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon. Look for “adenoma, tubular” in Volume 2 of the ICD-10 manual, and you are directed to “see also Neoplasm, benign, by site.”

D12. 6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D12. 6 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Adenomatous polyps are a common type. They are gland-like growths that develop on the mucous membrane that lines the large intestine. They are also called adenomas and are most often one of the following: Tubular polyp, which protrudes out in the lumen (open space) of the colon.
Adenocarcinoma develops in cells located in the glands that line your organs (glandular epithelial cells). These cells secrete mucous, digestive juices or other liquids. If your glandular cells begin to change or grow out of control, tumors can form. Some tumors found in glandular cells are not cancerous.
7: Malignant neoplasm of sigmoid colon.
left lower quadrantThe 40cm long sigmoid colon is located in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen, extending from the left iliac fossa to the level of the S3 vertebra. This journey gives the sigmoid colon its characteristic “S” shape. The sigmoid colon is attached to the posterior pelvic wall by a mesentery – the sigmoid mesocolon.
Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of colon D37. 4 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D37. 4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The ascending colon lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity, in front of the quadratus lumborum and transversus abdominis muscle. It extends from the cecum to the hepatic flexure and averages 12 to 20 cm in length.
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.
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.
A non-metastasizing neoplasm arising from the wall of the colon and rectum . A non-metastasizing neoplasm arising from the wall of the colon.
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, ...

Codes for inflammatory colon polyps, found in category K51, include a description of complications: K51.40 Inflammatory polyps of colon without complications. K51.411 Inflammatory polyps of colon with rectal bleeding. K51.412 Inflammatory polyps of colon with intestinal obstruction.
Print Post. Colorectal cancer typically develops from colon polyps, which are abnormal growths of tissue (neoplasms). Most polyps are benign, but may become cancerous. When selecting an ICD-10 diagnosis code for polyp (s) of the colon, you will need to know the precise location of the polyp (s) and the type of polyp (e.g., benign, inflammatory, ...
