Skin malignant melanoma meets the criteria in listing 113.29 B 1 if it has metastases to clinically apparent lymph nodes; to at least four lymph nodes that are not clinically apparent; or to adjacent skin (for example, satellite lesions) or distant sites (for example, liver, lung, or brain).
Skin Malignant Melanoma with Metastases occurs when the malignant tumor spreads to other parts of the body. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, PHYSICAL FINDINGS, AND ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM CODING Diagnostic testing: A treating source may detect melanoma simply by looking at a person’s skin.

Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of other sites. Z12. 89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
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.
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.
51 Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone.
Listen to pronunciation. (MEH-luh-NOH-muh in SY-too) 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.

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.
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.
Secondary malignant melanoma of skin. Secondary malignant melanoma of skin from eye. Secondary small cell carcinoma of skin. Secondary squamous cell carcinoma of skin. Secondary undifferentiated large cell malignant neoplasm of skin. Clinical Information. The spread of the cancer to the skin.
secondary carcinoid tumors ( C7B.-) secondary neuroendocrine tumors ( C7B.-) The spread of the cancer to the skin.
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, ...

Thyroid cancer metastatic to bone. Clinical Information. Cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the bone. The spread of a malignant neoplasm from a primary site to the skeletal system. The majority of metastatic neoplasms to the bone are carcinomas.

However, a definitive diagnosis of malignant melanoma is a biopsy. After diagnosis, CT scans or other types of imaging may be done to determine if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or elsewhere in the body .
Physical findings: Individuals with skin malignant melanoma may present with: Unusual moles, sores, lumps, blemishes, markings, or changes on the skin; Changes in sensation on the skin, such as itchiness, tenderness, or pain; and.
ICD-10: C43. PROGRESSION. The most dangerous aspect of malignant melanoma is its ability to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Metastasis most often includes local or distant lymph nodes, brain, lungs, liver, and bone.
Treatment of recurrent malignant melanoma after initial treatment depends on the stage of the original melanoma, the prior treatment, and the site of recurrence, and may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation.
