Peritoneal carcinomatosis most often develops when other abdominal tumors spread to the peritoneum, leading to multiple new tumors on the surface of this membrane. If you get peritoneal carcinomatosis, it generally means that your abdominal cancer is in an advanced stage.
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.
C80. 1 - Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.

Cancer that has spread to the lining surfaces of the peritoneal (abdominal) cavity from ovarian cancer, primary colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer, or mesothelioma and pseudomyxoma peritonei—known as peritoneal carcinomatosis—are cancers that are frequently referred to as peritoneal cancers.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.

mesothelioma ( C45.-) A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the peritoneum.
Primary malignant neoplasm of the peritoneum. Clinical Information. A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the peritoneum. Representative examples include carcinoma and malignant mesothelioma. Cancer of the tissue that lines the abdominal wall and covers organs in the abdomen.
