Codes should be selected from the table. It is important to remember when accessing the Neoplasm Table, to look under the main term Skin, first, then drop to the body part, to locate the appropriate code. The codes for squamous cell carcinoma are under category C44 Other and unspecified malignant neoplasm of skin.
Squamous cell carcinoma of skin of left ear and external auricular canal. C44.229 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 C44.229 became effective on October 1, 2018.
2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C53.9. Malignant neoplasm of cervix uteri, unspecified. C53.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer. It begins in the squamous cells, which comprise most of the skin’s epidermis. SCCs often occur on the sun-exposed areas of the body, such as the rim of the ear, lower lip, face, bald scalp, neck, hands, arms, and legs.

ICD-10 Code for Squamous cell carcinoma of skin, unspecified- C44. 92- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 Code for Carcinoma in situ of cervix, unspecified- D06. 9- Codify by AAPC.
Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a general term for an early stage cancer. Cervical carcinoma in situ is also referred to as stage 0 cervical cancer. It's noninvasive, which means the cancerous cells are confined to the surface of your cervix and haven't penetrated more deeply into the tissues.
C44. 529 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 C44. 529 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is a common form of skin cancer that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive.
Code 57460 includes removal of the exocervix and a portion of the transformation zone, if necessary. Code 57461 represents a conization procedure that takes all of the exocervix, the transformation zone, and some or all of the endocervix.
Carcinoma in situ9: Carcinoma in situ: Cervix uteri, unspecified.
610 for Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance on cytologic smear of cervix (ASC-US) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Carcinoma in situ, also called in situ cancer, is different from invasive carcinoma, which has spread to surrounding tissue, and from metastatic carcinoma, which has spread throughout the body to other tissues and organs. In general, carcinoma in situ is the earliest form of cancer, and is considered stage 0.
In CIN 2, proliferation occurs up to the upper two thirds, and in CIN 3, proliferation occurs in the upper two thirds of the epithelium. In CIS, the entire epithelium is abnormal. CIN and cervical cancer are caused by the sexually transmitted Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
Carcinoma in situ refers to cancer in which abnormal cells have not spread beyond where they first formed. The words “in situ” mean “in its original place.” These in situ cells are not malignant, or cancerous.
Squamous cell carcinoma is most commonly seen in fair-skinned people who have spent extended time in the sun. Other risk factors for SCC include: 1 Blue or green eyed people with blond or red hair 2 Long-term daily sun exposure, as with people that work outdoors with no sun protection or covering up 3 Many severe sunburns early in life 4 Older age. The older a person, the longer sun exposure they have had 5 Overexposure or long-term exposure to X-rays 6 Chemical exposures, such as arsenic in drinking water, tar, or working with insecticides or herbicides. 7 Tanning bed use. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 170,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the US each year are associated with indoor tanning. Use of indoor UV tanning equipment increases a person’s risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent.
Without further definition, if the term SCC or squamous cell carcinoma is used, it is understood to be a primary site. Site on the skin (e.g., trunk, upper limb, or lower limb) Any personal or family history of skin cancer or current or history of smoking or smoke exposure should also be documented and reported.
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, ...
Merkel-cell carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive skin cancer, which, in most cases, is caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) discovered by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008.
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 C44.520 and a single ICD9 code, 173.52 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
