A skin neoplasm of uncertain behavior is a skin growth whose behavior can't be predicted. This diagnosis is only reached after your doctor has conducted a biopsy and sent the sample to a pathologist for examination. There's no way to know whether it will develop into cancer or not.
The initial draft hierarchy organizes the neoplasm core set under three main headings (malignant, benign, and uncertain/mixed), with limited cross-listing. Several simplified hierarchies may well be needed; user input will be important in deciding on the most useful organization and scope for these.
CPT® provides different code sets to report excision of benign (11400-11471) and malignant (11600-11646) skin lesions/neoplasms.

A skin neoplasm is an unusual growth on your skin. The word neoplasm is sometimes used interchangeably with cancer, but neoplasms can also be noncancerous. You might also hear neoplasms referred to as tumors. The cells in your skin grow and divide as needed.

ICD-10 code Z51. 11 for Encounter for antineoplastic chemotherapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
(NEE-oh-PLA-zum) An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
Consequently, an “unspecified” condition is reported while awaiting additional information. “Neoplasm of uncertain behavior” is frequently documented to describe a mass that is awaiting confirmatory biopsy results.
ICD-10 code: L98. 9 Disorder of skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified.
A skin lesion is a part of the skin that has an abnormal growth or appearance compared to the skin around it. Two categories of skin lesions exist: primary and secondary. Primary skin lesions are abnormal skin conditions present at birth or acquired over a person's lifetime.
There are three main types of tumor:Benign: These tumors are not cancerous. They do not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body. ... Premalignant: In these tumors, the cells are not yet cancerous, but they can potentially become malignant.Malignant: Malignant tumors are cancerous.
There are five main types of malignant neoplasms (cancers), including:Carcinomas. Making up about 90% of all cancer cases, carcinomas originate in your epithelial (eh-puh-THEE-lee-uhl) tissue, such as the skin or linings of your organs. ... Sarcomas. ... Myelomas. ... Leukemias. ... Lymphomas.
A malignant neoplasm is composed of cells that look less like the normal cell of origin....Thus, characteristics of malignant neoplasms include:More rapid increase in size.Less differentiation (or lack of differentiation, called anaplasia)Tendency to invade surrounding tissues.Ability to metastasize to distant tissues.

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.
In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
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.
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, ...
