Secondary malignant neoplasm is a malignant tumor whose cause is the treatment (usually radiation or chemotherapy) which was used for a prior tumor. It must be distinguished from Metastasis from the prior tumor or a relapse from it since a secondary malignant neoplasm is a different tumor. Secondary malignant neoplasm.

When a cancer starts in one place in the body and spreads elsewhere, this is a secondary cancer or a 'metastasis'. The place in the body where a cancer first starts is the 'primary cancer'. Sometimes, cancer cells can break off from the primary cancer and spread elsewhere in the body.
A primary cancer is where a cancer starts. Sometimes cancer cells can break away from the primary cancer and settle and grow in another part of the body. This new cancer growth is called secondary cancer. Secondary cancers are also called metastases.
Secondary peritoneal cancers usually start in other organs in the abdomen and spread to the peritoneum. These cancers can be gynecologic, genitourinary or gastrointestinal (stomach, small bowel, colorectal, appendix) in origin. Secondary peritoneal cancers can be diagnosed in both men and women.
6. When a patient is admitted because of a primary neoplasm with metastasis and treatment is directed toward the secondary site only, the secondary neoplasm is designated as the principal diagnosis even though the primary malignancy is still present.
11 or Z51. 12 is the only diagnosis on the line, then the procedure or service will be denied because this diagnosis should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis. When the Primary, First-Listed, Principal or Only diagnosis code is a Sequela diagnosis code, then the claim line will be denied.

Coding solid malignant neoplasms involves abstracting information about the anatomical site(s) of the tumour(s) and the histological type(s). Primary site. The site where cancer originates is known as the primary site.

The initial draft hierarchy organizes the neoplasm core set under three main headings (malignant, benign, and uncertain/mixed), with limited cross-listing. Several simplified hierarchies may well be needed; user input will be important in deciding on the most useful organization and scope for these.
Cancer is considered historical when: • The cancer was successfully treated and the patient isn't receiving treatment. The cancer was excised or eradicated and there's no evidence of recurrence and further treatment isn't needed. The patient had cancer and is coming back for surveillance of recurrence.
A tumor that has spread from its original (primary) site of growth to another site, close to or distant from the primary site. Metastasis is characteristic of advanced malignancies, but in rare instances can be seen in neoplasms lacking malignant morphology.
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.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as C79.9. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
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, ...
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.
