Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of stomach. D37.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM D37.1 became effective on October 1, 2019.
Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of rectum. D37.5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM D37.5 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. D37.5 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of rectum. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
D37.5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D37.5 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D37.5 - other international versions of ICD-10 D37.5 may differ.
uncertain behavior is a dx that is rendered by the pathologist when the cellular activity observed is uncertain at to its morphology. Unspecified is sometimes called a working dx, and is used when a preliminary diagnostic workup is inconclusive, most commonly used when the decision comes back as a tumor.
When the behavior of a tumor cannot be predicted through pathology, it is called a neoplasm of uncertain behavior. These are neoplasms which are currently benign but have characteristics that make it possible for the tumor to become malignant.

Large Intestine (Colon) The large intestine includes the colon, rectum and anus. It's all one, long tube that continues from the small intestine as food nears the end of its journey through your digestive system. The large intestine turns food waste into stool and passes it from the body when you poop.

Neoplasm Codes in ICD-10-CM ICD-10-CM includes a tabular list and an alphabetic index like ICD-9-CM. ICD-10-CM also includes a neoplasm table organized much like the neoplasm table in ICD-9-CM. Similar to ICD-9-CM, chapter 2 in the ICD-10-CM tabular is titled "Neoplasms," but the code numbers are different.
A neoplasm is an abnormal growth on the body. Neoplasms can be benign or malignant. Neoplasms can be diagnosed with lab tests, imaging tests, and biopsy. These tests can determine if a neoplasm is benign or malignant. Treatment for malignant neoplasms depends on where they are located and if they have spread.
In ICD-10-CM, neoplasms are classified primarily by site (anatomic location, topography) and behavior (malignant, benign, carcinoma in situ, uncertain behavior and unspecified).
Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body. Malignant neoplasms can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. They can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
5 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of skin should only be used when the pathologist cannot determine if a neoplasm is benign or malignant. It is a specific code to be utilized after a histologic determination has been made, not a code to be used at the time the sample is obtained.
A benign tumor is an abnormal but noncancerous collection of cells also called a benign neoplasm. Benign tumors can form anywhere on or in your body, but many don't need treatment.
Malignant lesions of the skin are common. Patients who develop squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma often have recognizable precursor conditions. A few skin lesions resemble malignancies. Lesions that are growing, spreading or pigmented, or those that occur on exposed areas of skin are of particular concern.
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.

235.2 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of stomach, intestines, and rectum. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
Your colon, also known as the large intestine, is part of your digestive system. It's a long, hollow tube at the end of your digestive tract where your body makes and stores stool. Many disorders affect the colon's ability to work properly. Some of these include
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

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 D37.5 and a single ICD9 code, 235.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
