2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C34.11. Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, right bronchus or lung. C34.11 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016. ICD Code C34.1 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of C34.1 that describes the diagnosis 'malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, bronchus or lung' in more detail.
Non-small cell cancer includes squamous cell carcinoma (also called epidermoid carcinoma), large cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma. Codes for lung cancer are categorized by morphology, site, and laterality (except C34.2 Malignant neoplasm of middle lobe, brounchus or lung because only the right lung has a middle lobe).
For example, there is no way in ICD to distinguish between an adenocarcinoma of the lung and a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung: both would be coded to C34. 9. The ICD-10 alphabetic index (Vol.
Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, right bronchus or lung C34. 11 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 C34. 11 became effective on October 1, 2021.

the lungThe right upper lobe of the lung is located in the right superior corner of the thoracic cavity lateral to the trachea and esophagus. It is superior to the horizontal and oblique fissures, which separates the upper lobe from the middle and lower lobes of the right lung.
The note in ICD-10 under codes B95-B97 states that 'these categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in disease classified elsewhere', so you would not use B96. 81 as a primary diagnosis, but as an additional code with the disease listed first.

Small cell lung cancers include ICD-O morphology codes M-80413, M-80423, M-80433, M-80443, and M-80453. Small cell carcinoma is also called oat cell, round cell, reserve cell, or small cell intermediate cell carcinoma.

Tobacco smoking1 is by far the leading cause of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Most small cell lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke. Smoking is clearly the strongest risk factor for lung cancer, but it often interacts with other factors.
Code C80. 1, Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified, equates to Cancer, unspecified.
A Pancoast tumor, also called a pulmonary sulcus tumor or superior sulcus tumor, is a tumor of the pulmonary apex. It is a type of lung cancer defined primarily by its location situated at the top end of either the right or left lung. It typically spreads to nearby tissues such as the ribs and vertebrae.

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 C34.11 and a single ICD9 code, 162.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Outlook. Takeaway. Squamous cell lung carcinoma is a type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). According to the American Cancer Society, about 80 to 85 percent of all lung cancers are non-small cell. Squamous cell lung carcinoma begins in the top layer of cells, called squamous cells, that line the large airways ( bronchi) of the lung.
The cancer is only in the lining of the bronchus and not in lung tissue. This is also called carcinoma in situ.
Squamous cell lung carcinoma can occur in six stages. Staging is done based on tumor size and whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body. Many people don’t have symptoms until the cancer has begun to spread. There are many treatment options for squamous cell lung carcinoma.
basaloid squamous cell carcinoma. The National Cancer Institute estimates that squamous cell lung carcinoma makes up 25 percent of all lung cancers. Of all the types of non-small cell cancers, squamous cell lung carcinomas have the strongest connection to smoking.
Metastasis in squamous cell lung carcinoma. Metastasis is when a cancer spreads to other parts of the body. This may include lymph nodes, the other lung, or other organs. It’s estimated that metastatic cancer is present at the time of diagnosis in about 40 percent.
Squamous cell lung carcinoma begins in the cells lining the bronchi. Over time, cancer can spread by invading nearby lymph nodes and organs and traveling through the blood ( metastasizing) to other parts of the body.
According to the National Cancer Institute, smokers are 10 times more likely to get any lung cancer than people who have smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes.
It should be noted that words such as "anaplastic," "well differentiated," and "undifferentiated" are used as integral parts of approximately 15 histologic terms for neoplasms (in addition to those used to describe lymphomas).
Only malignant tumors are graded. The practice of grading varies greatly among pathologists throughout the world, and many malignant tumors are not routinely graded. In the grading code listed in Figure 21, the code numbers 1 to 4 are used to designate grades I to IV respectively.
As noted in the section on lymphomas, in the Third Edition, the cell lineage is implicit in the four-digit histology code, and an additional grade or differentiation (6th digit) code is not required. However, some registries may wish to retain the additional digit to identify cases in which the diagnosis is supported by immunophenotypic data.
