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]
C71.6 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of cerebellum. The code C71.6 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code C71.6 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like cerebellopontine angle tumor, classic medulloblastoma, low grade glioma of cerebellum, malignant glioma of cerebellum, malignant neoplasm of cerebellopontine angle , malignant neoplasm of cerebellum, etc.#N#The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC cerebellopontine angle or Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC cerebellum NOS or Neoplasm, neoplastic cerebellopontine (angle) or Neoplasm, neoplastic cerebellum, cerebellar or Neoplasm, neoplastic vermis, cerebellum .
A brain tumor is a growth of abnormal cells in the tissues of the brain. Brain tumors can be benign, with no cancer cells, or malignant, with cancer cells that grow quickly. Some are primary brain tumors, which start in the brain. Others are metastatic, and they start somewhere else in the body and move to the brain.
In adults, medulloblastoma typically affects younger adults between 20 and 40 years of age. Medulloblastoma occurs more often in males than females. Typically medulloblastoma is diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a contrasting image.
SHH-activated - The Shh group of medulloblastomas are named after the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway, which is thought to drive tumor initiation in many, if not all such cases. Individuals with germline mutations in the Shh receptor PTCH have Gorlin syndrome, which includes a predisposition to medulloblastoma.
