Several histologic variants have been recognized, including superficial spreading melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, nodular melanoma, and lentigo maligna melanoma.
melanoma in situ ( D03.-) malignant melanoma of skin of genital organs ( C51 - C52, C60.-, C63.-) Merkel cell carcinoma ( C4A.-) A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in the skin.
ICD-10 code C43. 9 for Malignant melanoma of skin, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
ICD-10 code Z85. 820 for Personal history of malignant melanoma of skin is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Melanoma in situ is also called stage 0 melanoma. It means there are cancer cells in the top layer of skin (the epidermis). The melanoma cells are all contained in the area in which they started to develop and have not grown into deeper layers of the skin. Some doctors call in situ cancers pre cancer.
VICC confirms that the correct code to assign for metastic melanoma at C4-C5 is C79. 5 Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone and bone marrow and that coding rules are not overridden to arrive at this code.

Your eyes also have melanin-producing cells and can develop melanoma. Eye melanoma is also called ocular melanoma. Most eye melanomas form in the part of the eye you can't see when looking in a mirror. This makes eye melanoma difficult to detect.
In Stage I melanoma, the cancer cells are in both the first and second layers of the skin—the epidermis and the dermis. A melanoma tumor is considered Stage I if it is up to 2 mm thick, and it may or may not have ulceration. There is no evidence the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or distant sites (metastasis).
Estimates for 2016 in the United States were 76,380 new cases of invasive melanoma and 68,480 new cases of melanoma in situ.
Abnormal melanocytes (cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its natural color) are found in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). These abnormal melanocytes may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Also called stage 0 melanoma.
If the site of the primary cancer is not documented, the coder will assign a code for the metastasis first, followed by C80. 1 malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified. For example, if the patient was being treated for metastatic bone cancer, but the primary malignancy site is not documented, assign C79. 51, C80.

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.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. 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.

Secondary malignant melanoma of skin. Superficial spreading malignant melanoma of skin. Clinical Information. A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in the skin.
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, ...

Melanomas typically occur in the skin but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. In women they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back.

Epidermal layer only. Malignant melanoma is malignant neoplasm of melanin (brown pigment producing) cells, described as having invaded the dermis or as one of the following stages: Stage I – Localized. Stage IA – Less than 1.0 mm thick, no ulceration, no lymph node involvement, no distant metastases.
Patients with melanoma in situ are classified as TIS (tumor in situ). The tumor is limited to the top layer of the skin (epidermis) with no evidence of invasion of dermis, surrounding tissues, lymph nodes or distant sites. Melanoma in situ presents very low risk for recurrence or metastasis.
Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. Melanomas typically occur in the skin but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. In women they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C43.62 and a single ICD9 code, 172.6 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
