A diagnosis of ovarian cancer is often confirmed at the time of surgery. The surgeon removes the tumor or tumors. He or she also takes tiny pieces (samples) of nearby tissues to find out if the cancer has spread. These tissues are sent to a lab, where they're checked for cancer.
Possible tests include:
The risk of malignancy index (RMI) in ovarian tumors is a validated clinical tool used for risk stratification of ovarian lesions , to guide further management 1-3. The score incorporates the patient's menopausal status (M), ultrasound features of the lesion (U), and the serum CA-125 level. Features of malignancy on ultrasound include 1,2:
ICD-10-CM Code for Malignant neoplasm of right ovary C56. 1.
If you have bilateral ovarian cancer, you should use BOTH the right ovarian cancer (C56. 1) and the left ovarian cancer (C56. 2) codes. The unspecified code (C56.
A primary or metastatic malignant tumor involving the ovary. Most primary malignant ovarian neoplasms are either carcinomas (serous, mucinous, or endometrioid adenocarcinomas) or malignant germ cell tumors. Metastatic malignant neoplasms to the ovary include carcinomas, lymphomas, and melanomas.
Secondary malignant neoplasm of ovary The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C79. 6 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of C79. 6 - other international versions of ICD-10 C79.
Epithelial ovarian tumors start in the outer surface of the ovaries. These tumors can be benign (not cancer), borderline (low malignant potential), or malignant (cancer).
C56.3 Malignant neoplasm of bilateral ovaries – New Code The laterality of an ovarian cancer is best assigned by the Gynecologic Oncologist. These codes assign the site of the primary, not the sites of metastatic disease. Most often ovarian cancers are advanced and bilateral.
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common type of ovarian cancer. Primary peritoneal cancer and fallopian tube cancer are similar to epithelial ovarian cancer and are treated in the same way.
A malignant tumor at the original site of growth. [ from NCI]
ICD-10 code Z51. 11 for Encounter for antineoplastic chemotherapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Stage 4 ovarian cancer is classed as advanced (metastatic) cancer. This means the cancer has spread away from the ovary to other body organs, such as the liver or lungs. The aim of treatment is to control the cancer for as long as possible. And to help you feel better and live longer.
C56. 9, Malignant neoplasm of unspecified ovary.
Cervical Cancer (ICD-10: C53) - Indigomedconnect.
Malignant neoplasm of ovary. Approximate Synonyms. Cancer of the ovary. Cancer of the ovary with peritoneal metastases. Cancer of the ovary, disseminated. Cancer of the ovary, endometrioid. Cancer of the ovary, germ cell tumor. Cancer of the ovary, mixed mullerian. Cancer of the ovary, mucinous cystadenoca.
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.
For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned. Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
A germ cell tumor (GCT) is a neoplasm derived from germ cells. Germ cell tumors can be cancerous or non-cancerous tumors. Germ cells normally occur inside the gonads (ovary and testis). Germ cell tumors that originate outside the gonads may be birth defects resulting from errors during development of the embryo.

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 C56.9 and a single ICD9 code, 183.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
ICD-10 requires you to code to the greatest degree of specificity. If you have bilateral ovarian cancer, you should use BOTH the right ovarian cancer (C56.1) and the left ovarian cancer (C56.2) codes. The unspecified code (C56.9) might be appropriate for a patient diagnosed on biopsy if it is impossible to determine a site of origin.
There is therefore controversy about which code set to use. The options are: D39.1 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of ovary. D39.10 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of unspecified ovary.
You can use 58954 (Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with omentectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy and radical dissection for debulking; with pelvic lymphadenectomy and limited para-aortic lymphadenectomy) with modifier 52. The 52 modifier indicates a “reduced service” since the hysterectomy component was not performed.
The series 58950-58952 can only be used with ICD10 codes for ovarian, tubal or primary peritoneal malignancy. 58953-58954 may be used with any diagnosis. All describe various combinations of procedures commonly performed for advanced gynecologic cancers.
Codes 58953-58956 can be used for cancer at all sites including the uterus. Although the selection of codes for treatment of gyn malignancy is fairly robust, there may be those occasions when the procedure actually performed is varied slightly from the available codes.
For example, a stage 4 ovarian cancer may be coded using 3 codes: C56.1 (malignant neoplasm of the right ovary), C78.6 (secondary malignancy of the peritoneum and retroperitoneum, and J91.0 (malignant pleural effusion). How do you code for borderline ovarian tumors ...
Is it always necessary to identify the sites of advanced ovarian or fallopian tube cancer in ICD-10? Yes, it is required for ICD-10 to identify the primary site of the tumor as well as sites of metastatic disease. Cancer codes for sites of metastatic disease are designated as “secondary cancer”.
