Coding solid malignant neoplasms involves abstracting information about the anatomical site(s) of the tumour(s) and the histological type(s).
Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified C80. 1 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 C80. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The initial draft hierarchy organizes the neoplasm core set under three main headings (malignant, benign, and uncertain/mixed), with limited cross-listing. Several simplified hierarchies may well be needed; user input will be important in deciding on the most useful organization and scope for these.
The words “MASS” or “LUMP” should NEVER be coded using the Neoplasm Table. When searching for the main term “lump,” the Alphabetic Index of the ICD-10 book directs the coder to see “Mass.” If there is no index entry for the specified site under the main term “mass,” the index directs the coder to “see Disease by site.”
ICD-10 code Z12 for Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasms is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The difference between a tumor and a neoplasm is that a tumor refers to swelling or a lump like swollen state that would normally be associated with inflammation, whereas a neoplasm refers to any new growth, lesion, or ulcer that is abnormal.
Malignant neoplasms are cancerous tumors. They develop when cells grow and divide more than they should. Malignant neoplasms can spread to nearby tissues and to distant parts of your body.
Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body. Malignant neoplasms can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. They can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
1. 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.
Primary and metastatic carcinomas are epithelial in origin and comprise by far the largest group of malignant tumors in humans.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast).
Screening means checking your body for cancer before you have symptoms. Getting screening tests regularly may find breast, cervical, and colorectal (colon) cancers early, when treatment is likely to work best. Lung cancer screening is recommended for some people who are at high risk.

(NEE-oh-PLA-zum) An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
Neoplastic diseases are conditions that cause tumor growth. Growth can be either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumors usually grow slowly and can't spread to other tissues. Conversely, malignant tumors can grow at a slow pace, but they can also grow very fast depending on the exact tumor type.
202.82 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other malignant lymphomas, intrathoracic lymph nodes. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Lymphoma is a cancer of a part of the immune system called the lymph system. There are many types of lymphoma. One type is Hodgkin disease. The rest are called non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C77.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
Left breast tumour at 11 o’clock and two tumours at 2 o’clock. Histology showed all cancers were invasive ductal carcinomas, all were ER and PR positive, HER2 negative, and 1/14 axillary lymph nodes contained tumour.
Two poorly differentiated nodules in the left lung (one in upper lobe and one in lower lobe), as well as contralateral scalene lymphadenopathy. Biopsy of scalene node showed adenocarcinoma.
When a patient is admitted for prophylactic surgery, follow ACS 2114 Prophylactic surgery which instructs that a code from Z40 Prophylactic surgery may be assigned as principal diagnosis; and any risk factor necessitating prophylactic surgery be assigned as additional diagnosis.
The point of origin (tip of tongue) is known, assign: C02.1 Malignant neoplasm of border of tongue M8010/3 Carcinoma NOS
A neoplasm that overlaps contiguous sites and whose point of origin cannot be determined should be classified to the subcategory .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The term ‘recurrence’ refers to malignancy returning after it has been previously eradicated. The recurrence may occur in the same site as the original primary, and/or as a metastasis. Regardless of where the recurrence occurs, assign a code for the original primary site. Code also any other metastatic sites.
There is no ICD-10-AM code for gene mutation. If this is the only risk factor for which prophylactic surgery is being performed, assign the appropriate code from Z40 Prophylactic surgery alone.
