ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code N40 N40.
Tubular Adenomas. Tubular adenomas are precancerous polyps in your colon typically found during colonoscopies. These polyps are your body's early warning system for colorectal (colon) cancer. While about 50% of the population develops tubular adenomas, less than 10% of tubular adenomas become cancerous.
ICD-10 code K63. 5 for Polyp of colon is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Adenomatous polyps (adenomas) of the colon and rectum are benign (noncancerous) growths, but may be precursor lesions to colorectal cancer. Polyps greater than one centimeter in diameter are associated with a greater risk of cancer. If polyps are not removed, they continue to grow and can become cancerous.
Tubular adenomas are the most common type. They're considered benign, or noncancerous. But sometimes cancer can develop in an adenoma if it isn't removed. If adenomas become cancerous, they're referred to as adenocarcinomas.
Adenomatous polyps, often known as adenomas , are a type of polyps that can turn into cancer. Adenomas may form in the mucous membrane of the lining in the large intestine, making them colon polyps. Another type of adenoma is gastric polyps , which form in the lining of the stomach.
A screening colonoscopy should be reported with the following International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) codes: Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon. Z80. 0: Family history of malignant neoplasm of digestive organs.

About 70 percent of all polyps are adenomatous, making it the most common type of colon polyp. When this type of polyp is found, it is tested for cancer. Only a small percentage actually become cancerous, but nearly all malignant polyps began as adenomatous.
Some types of polyps (called adenomas) have the potential to become cancerous, while others (hyperplastic or inflammatory polyps) have virtually no chance of becoming cancerous. The best course of action when a polyp is found depends upon the number, type, size, and location of the polyp.
There are four main types of colon polyps: adenomatous (tubular adenoma), hyperplastic, inflammatory, and villous adenoma (tubulovillous adenoma). 4 A polyp that is flat in shape is called sessile, and one that has a long stalk is called pedunculated. Adenomatous or Tubular Adenoma.
