Kidney Cancer – Renal Cell Carcinoma (ICD-10: C64)
ICD-10 code C64. 2 for Malignant neoplasm of left kidney, except renal pelvis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
The renal pelvis is a hollow part in the middle of each kidney. The ureters are thin tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. Each ureter is about 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 inches) long. Urine (pee) is your body's liquid waste and is made by the kidneys.

renal pelvis, enlarged upper end of the ureter, the tube through which urine flows from the kidney to the urinary bladder. The pelvis, which is shaped somewhat like a funnel that is curved to one side, is almost completely enclosed in the deep indentation on the concave side of the kidney, the sinus.
In humans, the renal pelvis is divided into two or three spaces -the major calyces- which in turn divide into further minor calyces. The walls of the calyces, pelvis and ureters are lined with smooth muscle that can contract to force urine towards the bladder by peristalisis.
Z12.5Report HCPCS Level II code G0102 Prostate cancer screening; digital rectal examination or G0103 Prostate cancer screening; prostate specific antigen test (PSA), total, as appropriate, with ICD-10-CM diagnosis code Z12. 5 Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of prostate (ICD-9-CM V76.
PSA when used in conjunction with other prostate cancer tests, such as digital rectal examination, may assist in the decision making process for diagnosing prostate cancer. PSA also, serves as a marker in following the progress of most prostate tumors once a diagnosis has been established.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C65.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned. Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
There are three main categories for skin neoplasms in ICD-10-CM. C43 is for malignant melanomas, C4a for Merkel cell carcinoma and C44 for other and unspecified malignant neoplasms of skin. Laterality codes apply to many of the skin sites (0 = unspecified, 1 = right, 2 = left).
For liver cancers, there are eight codes in the ICD-10-CM, with 6 of the codes designating a specified histology.
The 5th character is the sex code, while the 6th character is the laterality code. Since the 5th character designates the sex, the breast cancer codes are applicable for both men and women. Note: ICD-10-CM uses “2” for males and “1” for females.
For Kaposi sarcoma, there are 8 codes in the ICD-10-CM. The codes breakdown the site of the Kaposi sarcoma.
For mesothelial and soft tissue cancers, there are 5 codes in the ICD-10-CM with 4 of the codes designating the location of the mesothelioma.
