ICD-10-CM shares a number of similarities with ICD-9-CM in terms of neoplasm coding. 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.
The entries in the ICD-10-CM tabular and index for lymphoma and leukemia differ significantly from those in ICD-9-CM. Coding professionals should review the entries under the main terms lymphoma and leukemia in the ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries and compare them to the entries found under the same terms in ICD-9-CM.
The entries under the main term polycythemia in the ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries are different than the entries in the ICD-9-CM Index to Diseases. In ICD-9-CM, vera is a nonessential modifier to polycythemia. That is not the case in ICD-10-CM, where polycythemia vera is coded differently than polycythemia.
In ICD-10-CM there are unique codes for liver cell carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, angiosarcoma of liver, and other sarcomas of liver. When coding these conditions in ICD-10-CM, it is useful to have an awareness of the different codes for primary malignant neoplasms of the liver.
