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.
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.

There are 4 main types of melanoma skin cancer – superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna and acral lentiginous.
Estimates for 2016 in the United States were 76,380 new cases of invasive melanoma and 68,480 new cases of melanoma in situ.
While malignant, these are unlikely to spread to other parts of the body if treated early. They may be locally disfiguring if not treated early. A small but significant number of skin cancers are malignant melanomas. Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive cancer that tends to spread to other parts of the body.
Secondary malignant melanoma of skin. Superficial spreading malignant melanoma of skin. Clinical Information. A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in 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, ...
Approximate Synonyms. Malignant melanoma of skin of elbow. Malignant melanoma of skin of finger. Malignant melanoma of skin of forearm. Malignant melanoma of skin of hand. Malignant melanoma of skin of shoulder. Malignant melanoma of skin of upper limb.

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.

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.
