Malignant neoplasm of bladder, part unspecified. ICD-9-CM 188.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 188.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
Assign site code C679 when the tumor is multifocal (separate tumors in more than one subsite of the bladder). If the TURB or pathology proves invasive tumor in one subsite and in situ tumor in all other involved subsites, code to the subsite involved with invasive tumor.

ICD-10 code Z85. 51 for Personal history of malignant neoplasm of bladder is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The 3 main types of bladder cancer are:Urothelial carcinoma. Urothelial carcinoma (or UCC) accounts for about 90% of all bladder cancers. ... Squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cells develop in the bladder lining in response to irritation and inflammation. ... Adenocarcinoma.
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the bladder. The bladder is a hollow organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Bladder cancer occurs in the lining of the bladder. It is the sixth most common type of cancer in the United States.symptoms include. blood in your urine.

Z80. 52 - Family history of malignant neoplasm of bladder. ICD-10-CM.
Urothelial carcinoma, also known as transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), is by far the most common type of bladder cancer. In fact, if you have bladder cancer it's almost certain to be a urothelial carcinoma.
Small-cell carcinoma is extremely rare, accounting for fewer than 1 percent of all bladder cancers diagnosed in the United States. This type of bladder cancer begins in neuroendocrine cells, which are similar to nerves.
In general, bladder cancers that are muscle invasive and/or have high-grade cells are the most serious and aggressive. The less common types of bladder cancer such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma have a greater tendency to be muscle invasive compared to urothelial carcinoma.
Bladder cancer or bladder tumors are relatively common in the United States, and most bladder tumors are cancerous. Bladder cancer signs and symptoms may include the following: hematuria (blood in the urine, painless) in about 80-90 % of patients. frequent urination.
Cancer that forms in tissues of the bladder (the organ that stores urine). Most bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas (cancer that begins in cells that normally make up the inner lining of the bladder).
Adenocarcinoma is a very rare type of bladder cancer that begins in glandular (secretory) cells in the lining of the bladder. Only 1 percent to 2 percent of bladder cancers are adenocarcinoma.
As many as 50% of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer may have occult metastases that become clinically apparent within 5 years of initial diagnosis and around 5% will have distant metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis. Most patients with overt metastatic disease die within 2 years despite chemotherapy.
The general 5-year survival rate for people with bladder cancer is 77%. However, survival rates depend on many factors, including the type and stage of bladder cancer that is diagnosed. The 5-year survival rate of people with bladder cancer that has not spread beyond the inner layer of the bladder wall is 96%.
It has not grown in toward the hollow part of the bladder, and it has not spread to the thick layer of muscle or connective tissue of the bladder (Tis, N0, M0). This is always a high-grade cancer (see “Grades,” below) and is considered an aggressive disease because it can lead to muscle-invasive disease.
Chemotherapy for the whole body (systemic chemotherapy), to increase the chance for a cure in a person having surgery to remove the bladder, or as a primary treatment when surgery isn't an option. Radiation therapy, to destroy cancer cells, often as a primary treatment when surgery isn't an option or isn't desired.
188.9 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of bladder, part unspecified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The bladder is a hollow organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Bladder cancer occurs in the lining of the bladder. It is the sixth most common type of cancer in the United States.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
