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 ).
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer among both men and women in the United States, and is the leading cause of cancer death among both sexes. The number one risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking. There are two main types of lung cancer .

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, ...

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 C34.90 and a single ICD9 code, 162.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Non-small cell carcinoma (80463) A general term used sloppily to separate small cell from the "non-small cell" types (such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell, etc.) of carcinomas. Only use 8046/3 when there is no other type of non-small cell carcinoma contained in the source documents.
Other subtypes of adenocarcinoma are acinar, papillary, and mucinous. A specific histologic variant containing both epithelial (squamous) and glandular (adeno-) cells. Arise from neuroectoderm (which generates supporting structures of lung). Melanomas, sarcomas and lymphomas may also arise in the lung.
