Regardless of the cell type, the ICD-9-CM code for primary malignant neoplasm of the lung is 162.x, with the fourth-digit subcategory identifying the specified site of the cancer such as:

Nonmalignant neoplasms of the lung are classified to code 212.3 for benign, 235.7 for uncertain behavior, and 239.1 for unspecified nature. If the lung cancer is considered a metastatic site—the cancer spread from another organ to the lung—code 197.0 is assigned.Apr 11, 2011
ICD-10-CM Code for Secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site C79. 9.
For example, lung mass and multiple lung nodules are specifically indexed to code R91. 8, Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field.Feb 28, 2017

ICD-9 code 162.9 for Malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -MALIGNANT NEOPLASM OF RESPIRATORY AND INTRATHORACIC ORGANS (160-165).
Expand Section. Metastatic tumors in the lungs are cancers that developed at other places in the body (or other parts of the lungs). They then spread through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to the lungs. It is different than lung cancer that starts in the lungs.May 27, 2020
Metastatic cancer has the same name as the primary cancer. For example, breast cancer that spreads to the lung is called metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer. It is treated as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung cancer.Nov 10, 2020

The biopsy may be performed though a bronchoscope (33.24), percutaneous needle (33.26), thoracoscopic (33.20), or open (33.28). A transthoracic needle biopsy of lung is also classified to code 33.26. Transbronchial lung biopsy (33.27) is when the bronchoscope biopsy forceps actually punctures the terminal bronchus and samples ...
There are two major types of lung cancer, which is determined by the appearance of the cancerous cells under a microscope: • Small-cell lung cancer: Also called oat cell cancer, it is the more aggressive type and frequently metastasizes to other sites such as the liver, bone, and brain.
Vol. 23 No. 7 P. 27. Lung cancer is any type of malignant growth in the lungs that occurs when cells in the lung start to grow rapidly and uncontrollably. Smoking puts people at the highest risk of developing lung cancer, though exposure to secondhand smoke is also a major cause.
Procedures may include the following: • Wedge resection (32.29) or thoracoscopic wedge resection (32.20) is the removal of a small portion of the affected lung.
This type of lung cancer is more common than small cell. Regardless of the cell type, the ICD-9-CM code for primary malignant neoplasm of the lung is 162.x, with the fourth-digit subcategory identifying the specified site of the cancer such as:
Advanced lung cancer eventually metastasizes to nearby lymph nodes or other tissues in the chest, including the other lung. In many cases, lung cancer spreads to other organs in the body such as the bone (198.5), brain (198.3), liver (197.7), and adrenal glands (198.7). Diagnosis.
Lung cancer does not typically produce symptoms in the disease’s early stages. When symptoms do appear in the more advanced stages, they may include the following: • coughing (a new cough or a change in a chronic cough); • hemoptysis; • chest pain; • shortness of breath; • wheezing; • hoarseness; • weight loss;
Squamous cell carcinoma of lung, TNM stage 1. Squamous cell carcinoma of lung, TNM stage 2. Squamous cell carcinoma of lung, TNM stage 3. Squamous cell carcinoma of lung, TNM stage 4. T3: Lung tumor of any size in the main bronchus < 2 cm distal to the carina but without involvement of the carina.
162.9 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung, unspecified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Doctors diagnose lung cancer using a physical exam, imaging, and lab tests. Treatment depends on the type, stage, and how advanced it is. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. It is a leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes most lung cancers. The more cigarettes you smoke per day and the earlier you started smoking, the greater your risk of lung cancer .
An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
No Map Flag - The no map flag indicates that a code in the source system is not linked to any code in the target system. Combination Flag - The combination flag indicates that more than one code in the target system is required to satisfy the full equivalent meaning of a code in the source system.
A “see also” instruction following a main term in the index instructs that there is another main term that may also be referenced that may provide additional index entries that may be useful. It is not necessary to follow the “see also” note when the original main term provides the necessary code.
If the documentation states the cancer is a metastatic cancer, but does not state the site of the metastasis, the coder will assign a code for the primary cancer, followed by code C79.9 secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site.
If the site of the primary cancer is not documented, the coder will assign a code for the metastasis first, followed by C80.1 malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified. For example, if the patient was being treated for metastatic bone cancer, but the primary malignancy site is not documented, assign C79.51, C80.1.
When coding malignant neoplasms, there are several coding guidelines we must follow:#N#To properly code a malign ant neoplasm, the coder must first determine from the documentation if the neoplasm is a primary malignancy or a metastatic (secondary) malignancy stemming from a primary cancer.
For instance, a patient who has primary breast cancer (C50.xx) who is now seen for metastatic bone cancer will have a code for the secondary bone cancer (C79.51) sequenced before a code for the primary breast cancer (C50.xx). When a current cancer is no longer receiving treatment of any kind, it is coded as a history code.
When a current cancer is no longer receiving treatment of any kind, it is coded as a history code. For instance, the patient had breast cancer (C50.xx) and underwent a mastectomy, followed by chemoradiation. The provider documents that the patient has no evidence of disease (NED).

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]
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 majority are carcinomas (usually lung or breast carcinomas). Cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the brain.
