VICC confirms that the correct code to assign for metastic melanoma at C4-C5 is C79. 5 Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone and bone marrow and that coding rules are not overridden to arrive at this code.
3 - Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of axilla and upper limb lymph nodes.
Lymphatic system and axillary nodes Lymph nodes are small clumps of immune cells that act as filters for the lymphatic system. They also store white blood cells that help fight illness. The lymph nodes in the underarm are called axillary lymph nodes. If breast cancer spreads, this is the first place it's likely to go.
1. If the documentation states the cancer is a metastatic cancer, but does not state the site of the metastasis, the coder will assign a code for the primary cancer, followed by code C79. 9 secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site.
ICD-10 code Z85. 820 for Personal history of malignant melanoma of skin is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The lymph nodes in the armpits are called axillary lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes are located near the breasts. This means they are often the first location to which breast cancer spreads if it moves beyond the breast tissue.
The axilla is an anatomical region under the shoulder joint where the arm connects to the shoulder. It contains a variety of neurovascular structures, including the axillary artery, axillary vein, brachial plexus, and lymph nodes.
The breast surgery Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes were developed when axillary dissection was standard therapy for breast cancer. Modified radical mastectomy is coded 19307; lumpectomy with axillary dissection is coded 19302.
armpitThe axillary lymph nodes are a collection of grouped lymph nodes found in the axillary region of the upper limb. The axillary region is commonly referred to as the 'armpit', although it is a three-dimensional space bound inferiorly by skin and anteriorly by the clavicle.
The sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the underarm (axillary) lymph node closest to a breast cancer. During surgery to remove early-stage breast cancer, the sentinel node often is removed and sent to a pathologist who determines if there is cancer in it.
Clinicians divide axillary lymph nodes into three levels. Level II and III lymph nodes are always deep and reported with 38525. Level I nodes may be either deep (reported with 38525) or superficial (38500), depending on the individual patient.
Secondary malignant melanoma of skin. Secondary malignant melanoma of skin from eye. Secondary small cell carcinoma of skin. Secondary squamous cell carcinoma of skin. Secondary undifferentiated large cell malignant neoplasm of skin. Clinical Information. The spread of the cancer to the skin.
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.
Secondary malignant melanoma of skin. Superficial spreading malignant melanoma of skin. Clinical Information. A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in the skin.
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, ...

Epidermal layer only. Malignant melanoma is malignant neoplasm of melanin (brown pigment producing) cells, described as having invaded the dermis or as one of the following stages: Stage I – Localized. Stage IA – Less than 1.0 mm thick, no ulceration, no lymph node involvement, no distant metastases.
Patients with melanoma in situ are classified as TIS (tumor in situ). The tumor is limited to the top layer of the skin (epidermis) with no evidence of invasion of dermis, surrounding tissues, lymph nodes or distant sites. Melanoma in situ presents very low risk for recurrence or metastasis.
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.
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.
