Squamous cell papilloma represents WHO 4th edition head and neck preferred nomenclature; however, in practice, squamous papilloma is commonly used ICD coding ICD-10: D10.0 - lip D10.1 - tongue
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of base of tongue Squamous cell carcinoma, base of tongue ICD-10-CM C01 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 011 Tracheostomy for face, mouth and neck diagnoses or laryngectomy with mcc
The codes for squamous cell carcinoma are under category C44 Other and unspecified malignant neoplasm of skin. Codes with a subcategory listing further specify laterality. Example 1: A patient returns to the dermatologist to discuss removal of his SCC on his lower lip.

For the virus, there is a screening code (Z11. 51) that captures the screening for HPV. The results can be captured as DNA-positive for cervical (R87. 810) and vaginal (R87.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is a common form of skin cancer that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive.
The vast majority of skin cancers are basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. While malignant, these are unlikely to spread to other parts of the body if treated early. They may be locally disfiguring if not treated early.
(SKWAY-mus sel KAR-sih-NOH-muh in SY-too) A condition in which abnormal cells are found in the tissues that form the surface of the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body (such as the bladder and uterus), and the lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts.

HPV testing must be positive by viral detection tests in order to code as B97.7. R87.810 is not appropriate as there is no reference to this being cervical & it could very well be anal, but in either case neither are correct to use. That is unless it is documented, as coding based on assumption is not allowed.
For the HPV+ as long as it is officially documented by a physician as HPV+ you could could use B97.7. This is not to be confused with p16 positivity. HPV-positive is not equivalent to HPV mediated (p16+). HPV-type 16 refers to virus type and is different from p16 overexpression (p16+).
For men and women, anal cancer and genital warts are also a concern after a diagnosis of HPV. Anal cancer is coded as C21.- and genital warts are coded as A63.0 (anogenital warts). The CDC notes that there are 40 new cases of genital warts diagnosed every hour.
Vaginal cancer has no symptoms early, but patients can develop pelvic pain and vaginal discharge later. Vulvar cancer does have symptoms, which include color and skin changes, sores or lumps, itching, burning, and vulvar bleeding. It is important to note that not all vaginal/vulvar cancers are caused by HPV.
Squamous cell carcinoma is most commonly seen in fair-skinned people who have spent extended time in the sun. Other risk factors for SCC include: 1 Blue or green eyed people with blond or red hair 2 Long-term daily sun exposure, as with people that work outdoors with no sun protection or covering up 3 Many severe sunburns early in life 4 Older age. The older a person, the longer sun exposure they have had 5 Overexposure or long-term exposure to X-rays 6 Chemical exposures, such as arsenic in drinking water, tar, or working with insecticides or herbicides. 7 Tanning bed use. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 170,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the US each year are associated with indoor tanning. Use of indoor UV tanning equipment increases a person’s risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent.
by John Verhovshek, MA, CPC. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer. It begins in the squamous cells, which comprise most of the skin’s epidermis.
