ICD 10 Code C61. Malignant neoplasm of prostate. C61 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Malignant neoplasm of prostate. It is found in the 2020 version of the ICD 10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2019 - Sep 30, 2020.
PIN 1 and 2 are classified to code 602.3, Dysplasia of prostate, and PIN 3 is considered carcinoma in situ of the prostate and classified to code 233.4. For prostatic carcinoma staging, review the pathology report as well as diagnostic studies to determine the presence of metastatic sites.
Code is only used for male patients. C61 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of prostate. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary (metastatic) sites should also be determined. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries

Leiomyosarcoma, or LMS, is a type of rare cancer that grows in the smooth muscles. The smooth muscles are in the hollow organs of the body, including the intestines, stomach, bladder, and blood vessels. In females, there is also smooth muscle in the uterus.
Not all neoplasms are cancerous. A malignant or cancerous neoplasm is a growth that has the potential to grow rapidly and spread throughout the body. Benign neoplasms may be painful but they are almost never life-threatening.
The term "malignancy" refers to the presence of cancerous cells that have the ability to spread to other sites in the body (metastasize) or to invade nearby (locally) and destroy tissues. Malignant cells tend to have fast, uncontrolled growth and do not die normally due to changes in their genetic makeup.
R97.2ICD-10 code R97. 2 for Elevated prostate specific antigen [PSA] is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The Gleason grading system refers to how abnormal your prostate cancer cells look and how likely the cancer is to advance and spread. A lower Gleason grade means that the cancer is slower growing and not aggressive.
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.
Functional activity. 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]
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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C79.89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Normal blood and lymphatic vessels. Blood vessels carry blood to and from organs. Lymphatic vessels bring excess fluid, waste, and other substances away from organs so they can be examined by the immune system before being removed from the body.
Lymphovascular invasion or LVI is the movement of cancer cells into either a blood or lymphatic vessel. Once cancer cells are within a blood or lymphatic vessel, they have the ability to spread to other parts of the body. The movement of cancer cells to another part of the body is called metastasis.
Positive for lymphovascular invasion means that it was seen in the tissue examined. Negative for lymphovascular invasion means that it was not seen.
LVI in biopsies usually indicates malignancy, and its presence correlates with grade and stage, although it is sometimes difficult to distinguish from fixation-associated retraction artifact of acini. 505,506 Definite LVI is present in 6% of cases and equivocal LVI in 3%; both are associated with other adverse pathologic features, including advanced stage, higher Gleason grade, and positive surgical margins. 511 LVI, present in 10% to 38% of prostatectomy specimens, is commonly associated with EPE and lymph node metastases (62% and 67% of cases, respectively) ( Fig. 9.31 ). 505,506,512,513 There was no evidence of lymphangiogenesis. The lack of coexpression of podoplanin and receptor-3 in some lymphatic vessels suggests that there is a heterogeneous population of lymphatic endothelial cells in the prostate. 514
LVI is defined as the unequivocal presence of tumor cells within endothelial-lined spaces with no underlying muscular walls or the presence of tumor emboli in small intraprostatic vessels. Only a few studies have attempted to distinguish between lymphatic and vascular channels because of the difficulties in differentiation by light microscopic examination. 505,506 Stains directed against endothelial cells such as factor VIII–related antigen, CD31, CD34, D2-40, or Ulex europaeus may increase the detection rate. 505
The term “lymphovascular invasion” should be limited to cases in which both are seen, but this is rarely the case in practice. In addition, the reproducibility of this finding is in question because it is often hard to tell the difference between lymphatic invasion and artifact.
However, 59% report the presence of tumor in a lymphatic space adjacent to a lymph node as a negative lymph node with a specific comment that others may report this finding as positive. 510
Moreover, tumors that expressed VEGF-C were more prone to metastasize to additional organs. This suggests that lymphangiogenic factors may be transported to lymph nodes from the primary tumor and induce intranodal lymphangiogenesis, to facilitate the spread of tumor cells ( Zhao et al., 2012 ).
LVI appears to be an important predictor of outcome after prostatectomy and carries a twofold to fourfold greater risk for tumor biochemical recurrence, progression, and death, especially when accompanied by reactive stroma. 506,511,515-522 Five-year biochemical-free survival is 38% to 76% and 84% to 87% for patients with and without LVI after surgery, respectively. 512,513 However, LVI may or may not be an independent predictor of progression when stage and grade are included in the analysis after surgical or radiation therapy. 506,523-525 LVI of the seminal vesicles is also predictive of tumor progression and lymph node metastases. 526

Prostate cancer , also known as carcinoma of the prostate, is the development of cancer in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing; however, some grow relatively quickly. The cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. It may initially cause no symptoms. In later stages it can lead to difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, or pain in the pelvis, back or when urinating. A disease known as benign prostatic hyperplasia may produce similar symptoms. Other late symptoms may include feeling tired due to low levels of red blood cells.
This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 185 was previously used, C61 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
The cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. It may initially cause no symptoms. In later stages it can lead to difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, or pain in the pelvis, back or when urinating.
Prostate cancer (ICD-9-CM code 185) occurs when cells within the prostate grow uncontrollably, creating small tumors. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type (85%) and arises from the glandular tissue within the prostate.
The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting for neoplasms is similar to the ICD-9-CM official coding guidelines with a few exceptions. Here is a summary of the ICD-10-CM neoplasm coding guidelines:
For prostatic carcinoma staging, review the pathology report as well as diagnostic studies to determine the presence of metastatic sites. Codes may not be assigned based only on the pathology report; the physician must confirm the diagnosis in the progress notes or the discharge summary before a code may be assigned.
Other medications include antiandrogens, which prevent testosterone from reaching cancer cells. Examples include bicalutamide (Casodex) and nilutamide (Nilandron). Coding and sequencing for prostate cancer are dependent on the physician documentation in the medical record and application of the Official Coding Guidelines for inpatient care.
Symptoms. Common symptoms of prostate cancer include bloody semen; difficulty initiating or stopping urination; frequency of urination (especially nocturnal); hematuria; pain or burning during urination; pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs; and a stuttering or weak urine flow. Diagnosis.
Normal PSA levels are dependent on age and race, but broad ranges are less than 2.5 ng/mL for ages 40 to 49, less than 4 ng/mL for ages 50 to 59, less than 4.5 ng/mL for ages 60 to 69, and less than 6.5 ng/mL for ages 70 to 79. Grading. Grading is used to determine how aggressive the cancer is.
PSA is secreted exclusively by prostatic epithelial cells. PSA levels can be helpful in detecting prostate cancer, but the PSA level may be elevated due to other conditions such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, infection (including prostatitis), or inflammation.
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
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. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
The neoplasm table in the Alphabetic Index should be referenced first. However, if the histological term is documented, that term should be referenced first, rather than going immediately to the Neoplasm Table, in order to determine which column in the Neoplasm Table is appropriate. Alphabetic Index to review the entries under this term and the instructional note to “see also neoplasm, by site, benign.” The table provides the proper code based on the type of neoplasm and the site. It is important to select the proper column in the table that corresponds to the type of neoplasm. The Tabular List should then be referenced to verify that the correct code has been selected from the table and that a more specific site code does not exist.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
When the reason for admission/encounter is to determine the extent of the malignancy, or for a procedure such as paracentesis or thoracentesis, the primary malignancy or appropriate metastatic site is designated as the principal or first-listed diagnosis, even though chemotherapy or radiotherapy is administered.
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 .
