Is a neuroendocrine tumor the same as pancreatic cancer?
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). When pancreatic NETs are malignant, they are called pancreatic endocrine cancer or islet cell carcinoma. Pancreatic NETs are much less common than pancreatic exocrine tumors and have a better prognosis.

What are neuroendocrine cells of the pancreas?
Neuroendocrine cells (sometimes just called endocrine cells) in the pancreas are found in small clusters called islets (or islets of Langerhans). These islets make important hormones like insulin and glucagon (which help control blood sugar levels), and release them directly into the blood.
What is the most common pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor?
Insulinoma. Insulinomas are the most common functioning pancreatic endocrine tumors.
Is neuroendocrine and endocrine the same?
Neuroendocrine systems can be defined as the sets of neurons, glands and non-endocrine tissues, and the neurochemicals, hormones, and humoral signals they produce and receive, that function in an integrated manner to collectively regulate a physiological or behavioral state.
Where is neuroendocrine tumor?
Neuroendocrine tumors are rare and can occur anywhere in the body. Most neuroendocrine tumors occur in the lungs, appendix, small intestine, rectum and pancreas.
What is malignant neuroendocrine tumor?
(NOOR-oh-EN-doh-krin TOO-mer) A tumor that forms from cells that release hormones into the blood in response to a signal from the nervous system. Neuroendocrine tumors may make higher-than-normal amounts of hormones, which can cause many different symptoms. These tumors may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).
What is malignant poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors?
Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are rare tumors that can arise anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. They often present in advanced stage and portend a poor prognosis when compared to adenocarcinomas of the same stage.
What causes neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors?
It's not clear what causes most pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors occur when hormone-producing cells in the pancreas (islet cells) develop changes (mutations) in their DNA — the material that provides instructions for every chemical process in your body.
What are functional neuroendocrine tumors?
Functional neuroendocrine tumors cause the pancreas to overproduce hormones consequently causing hormone-related symptoms. The majority of PNETs are nonfunctional tumors. Nonfunctional tumors do not produce any hormones so they do not cause any hormone-related symptoms.
How is pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor diagnosed?
Computed tomography (CT) scan This test is most often used to look at the chest and/or belly (abdomen) to see the pancreas clearly and if the pancreatic NET has spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs such as the liver. It can also be used to guide a biopsy needle into an area of concern.
What is the code for a primary malignant neoplasm?
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.
What chapter is neoplasms classified in?
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, ...
What is the table of neoplasms used for?
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.
When will the ICD-10 C7A.8 be released?

What is neuroendocrine tumor?
A tumor that forms from cells that release hormones in response to a signal from the nervous system. Some examples of neuroendocrine tumors are carcinoid tumors, islet cell tumors, medullary thyroid carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, and neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin (merkel cell cancer).
What is the code for a primary malignant neoplasm?
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.
What are the cells that produce the neuroendocrine system?
Tumors whose cells possess secretory granules and originate from the neuroectoderm, i.e., the cells of the ectoblast or epiblast that program the neuroendocrine system. Common properties across most neuroendocrine tumors include ectopic hormone production (often via apud cells), the presence of tumor-associated antigens, and isozyme composition.
What is a malignant neoplasm?
Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified ( C25.9 ). A benign or malignant neoplasm composed of cells of neuroendocrine origin. Representative examples include paraganglioma, carcinoid tumor, and neuroendocrine carcinoma.

What is a type 2 exclude note?
A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( D3A) and the excluded code together. benign pancreatic islet cell tumors (.

Is a well differentiated NE tumor a benign tumor?
If the patient has a Well-differentiated NE tumor it is cancer, and not a benign condition. The Neuroendocrine section is a little tricky, b/c a Carcinoid tumor is a subset or a special type of neuroendocrine cancer, and will be stated in the pathology report.
Is "well differentiated" a subterm?
Well-differentiated is not a subterm. I would like to know how others code this. Since "well- differentiated" is not a subterm of either carcinoid or neuroendocrine tumor, I'm going to code it as benign. Thoughts?
