Code the primary site to head of pancreas (C250), NOT to breast (C50_) as suggested by the ICD-O-3.2. b. Use the site code suggested by ICD-O-3.2 when the primary site is the same as the site code suggested or the primary site is unknown Example 1: The biopsy is positive for hepatoma, and no information is available about the primary site.

C25 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C25. Malignant neoplasm of pancreas 2016 2017 2018 2019 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code. Code Also exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (K86.81) Use Additional code to identify: alcohol abuse and dependence (F10.-) Malignant neoplasm of pancreas.
Example: The path report says “infiltrating duct carcinoma of the head of pancreas.” The listing in ICD-O-3.2 is infiltrating duct carcinoma 8500/3 (C50_). Code the primary site to head of pancreas (C250), NOT to breast (C50_) as suggested by the ICD-O-3.2.
Example: Two possible sites are documented in the GI system such as colon and small intestine; code to the GI tract, NOS (C269). Document the possible primary sites in a text field.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of C25.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 C25.9 may differ. All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not.
Biliary tract cancers, also called cholangiocarcinomas, refer to those malignancies occurring in the organs of the biliary system, including pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, and cancer of bile ducts.
Pancreaticobiliary cancers are a group of malignancies affecting the pancreas and biliary tract, including the gallbladder and intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate between 9% and 10%.
The organs and ducts that make and store bile (a fluid made by the liver that helps digest fat), and release it into the small intestine. The biliary tract includes the gallbladder and bile ducts inside and outside the liver. Also called biliary system.
Pancreaticobiliary disorders include tumors, obstruction, and injury of the pancreas and bile ducts. MaineHealth has skilled doctors who treat the pancreas and bile ducts.
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). When pancreatic NETs are malignant, they are called pancreatic endocrine cancer or islet cell carcinoma. Pancreatic NETs are much less common than pancreatic exocrine tumors and have a better prognosis.
(See also Overview of the Liver and Gallbladder Overview of the Liver and Gallbladder Located in the upper right portion of the abdomen, the liver and gallbladder are interconnected by ducts known as the biliary tract, which drains into the first segment of the small intestine... read more .)
The biliary system consists of the organs and ducts (bile ducts, gallbladder, and associated structures) that are involved in the production and transportation of bile.
Bile and other digestive secretions travel into the duodenum via the biliary tract's system of bile ducts. These continue the digestive process by breaking down food so its nutrients can be absorbed.
Code the primary site to sigmoid colon (C187), the site in which the cancer originated. 3. Code the last digit of the primary site code to ‘8’ when a single tumor overlaps an adjacent subsite (s) of an organ and the point of origin cannot be determined.
The default code for sarcomas of unknown primary site is C499 rather than C809.

Correspondence tables are available between ICD-O revisions and between ICD-O revisions and ICD-9 and ICD-10.
There is an agreement between the World Health Organization and the College of American Pathologists that the ICD-O morphology classification will be used for the M-8000 to M-9989 codes in the morphology axis of SNOMED. A change of SNOMED in 1993 led to incompatibilities for non-neoplastic lesions.
The pancreas is a gland behind your stomach and in front of your spine. It produces juices that help break down food and hormones that help control blood sugar levels. Cancer of the pancreas is the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in the United States Some risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include.
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 Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. 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.
For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned. Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
Appendix C brings together the site-specific instructions needed to abstract a case, facilitating efficiency and accuracy. The site-specific coding modules include SEER Coding Guidelines, Extent of Disease, and Surgery of Primary Site codes. 1
General instructions in the main manual are applicable in the absence of site-specific instructions. All modules include the extent of disease and surgery codes, and solid tumor coding rules. Some modules include site-specific coding guidelines.
