Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is a common form of skin cancer that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive.
Squamous cell carcinoma of skin, unspecified C44. 92 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 C44. 92 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Cancers that are known collectively as head and neck cancers usually begin in the squamous cells that line the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck (for example, those inside the mouth, throat, and voice box). These cancers are referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck.

“Head and neck cancer” is the term used to describe a number of different malignant tumors that develop in or around the throat, larynx, nose, sinuses, and mouth. Most head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.

Squamous cell carcinoma is most commonly seen in fair-skinned people who have spent extended time in the sun. Other risk factors for SCC include: 1 Blue or green eyed people with blond or red hair 2 Long-term daily sun exposure, as with people that work outdoors with no sun protection or covering up 3 Many severe sunburns early in life 4 Older age. The older a person, the longer sun exposure they have had 5 Overexposure or long-term exposure to X-rays 6 Chemical exposures, such as arsenic in drinking water, tar, or working with insecticides or herbicides. 7 Tanning bed use. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 170,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the US each year are associated with indoor tanning. Use of indoor UV tanning equipment increases a person’s risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent.
Without further definition, if the term SCC or squamous cell carcinoma is used, it is understood to be a primary site. Site on the skin (e.g., trunk, upper limb, or lower limb) Any personal or family history of skin cancer or current or history of smoking or smoke exposure should also be documented and reported.
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, ...

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.
HPV testing must be positive by viral detection tests in order to code as B97.7. R87.810 is not appropriate as there is no reference to this being cervical & it could very well be anal, but in either case neither are correct to use. That is unless it is documented, as coding based on assumption is not allowed.
For the HPV+ as long as it is officially documented by a physician as HPV+ you could could use B97.7. This is not to be confused with p16 positivity. HPV-positive is not equivalent to HPV mediated (p16+). HPV-type 16 refers to virus type and is different from p16 overexpression (p16+).
