What is the code for a mass?

Without a definitive diagnosis, a mass is coded from Chapter 18: Symptoms, Signs, and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings, Not Elsewhere Classified (R00-R99).#N#When the provider refers to the condition as a tumor, growth, neoplasm, or new growth, without having obtained a definitive diagnosis, code selection is taken from category D49 Neoplasms of unspecified behavior of the Neoplasm section of the ICD-10-CM code book.#N#D49 differs from categories D37-D44 and D48 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other and unspecified sites in that the “histologic confirmation whether the neoplasm is malignant or benign cannot be made.” The operative phrase is “histologic confirmation.” In other words, the specimen has been observed, probably by a pathologist, who is unable to determine whether the specimen is malignant or benign. In such a case, code selection is from D37-D44 and D48.#N#If the results of a biopsy are positive, a malignant code is selected from the Neoplasm section of the ICD-10-CM code book; if the results are negative, a benign code is selected.#N#When the provider states that a specimen has been submitted for pathological identification due to suspicion of malignancy or for a lymphoma protocol, it’s an indication that you will code the biopsy results from the Neoplasm section. The provider is having the specimen tested to determine if the cells are cancerous. The lymph nodes are often biopsied as well to determine whether the primary malignancy has spread. Nearby lymph nodes are removed if the pathologic examination reveals malignancy. Codes for the lymph node biopsy results are found in the Neoplasm section.#N#Keep in mind that a pathological specimen is not submitted with every tissue excision; and in such cases, the diagnoses the provider has documented on the operative report are the diagnoses for that encounter. When in doubt, the best practice is to query the provider.
