D03.60 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Melanoma in situ of unsp upper limb, including shoulder
Melanoma in situ D03- >. A melanoma of the skin characterized by the presence of melanoma cells in the dermal-epidermal junction only, without infiltration of the papillary or reticular dermis. Abnormal melanocytes (cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color) are found in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin).

In ICD-10-CM, melanoma is differentiated as melanoma or melanoma in situ. Melanoma is reported with codes from category C43, while melanoma in situ is reported with codes in category D03.

A secondary site or “metastasis” is where the primary neoplasm has spread to another site. Carcinoma in situ is generally a non-invasive malignant neoplasm.
Early/evolving melanoma in situ (8720/2) and early/evolving melanoma invasive (8720/3) are reportable for cases diagnosed 1/1/2021 and later.
The rest of the solid tumors arise in the brain, central nervous system, or in the eye. Melanoma—skin malignancy. It can also form in the eyes, and, rarely, in internal organs. Germ cell tumors—usually arise in the ovaries and testes, but can also occur in the brain, abdomen, or chest.
Mucosal melanoma (MM) is a rare melanoma subtype that originates from melanocytes within sun-protected mucous membranes. Compared with cutaneous melanoma (CM), MM has worse prognosis and lacks effective treatment options.
Answer: Early/evolving lentigo maligna is not reportable.
In ICD-10-PCS sections 0 through F, the fourth character defines the body part, body system, body region, or treatment site – i.e., the specific anatomical site where the procedure or service is performed.
The ICD-10-CM code manual is divided into three volumes. Volume I is the tabular index. Volume II is, again, the alphabetic index. Volume III lists procedure codes that are only used by hospitals.
Which of the following purpose and use goals does not apply to ICD-10-PCS? CMS designed ICD-10-PCS with goals to improve coding accuracy, reduce training effort, and improve communication with physicians. It is not used to collect data about nursing care (Giannangelo 2016,124).
The first three characters identify a category. The first character is always a letter. The second and third characters can be letters or numbers. The minimum number of characters for an ICD-10 code is three.
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.
A melanoma of the skin characterized by the presence of melanoma cells in the dermal-epidermal junction only, without infiltration of the papillary or reticular dermis. Abnormal melanocytes (cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color) are found in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin).
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.
