Benign neoplasms (D10-D36) The next section of the D codes covers the benign (/1) neoplasms.
A schwannoma is a spinal tumor that arises from the lining of the nerve cells of the spine. The nerves of the spine are insulated by a protective sheath called myelin, which transmits nerve impulses throughout the body. Schwann cells create the myelin sheath of the nerves.
Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor, or MPNST, is a cancer of the cells that form the sheath that covers and protects peripheral nerves. Peripheral nerves are those outside of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). MPNST is a type of sarcoma.
A neoplasm is an abnormal growth on the body. Neoplasms can be benign or malignant. Neoplasms can be diagnosed with lab tests, imaging tests, and biopsy. These tests can determine if a neoplasm is benign or malignant. Treatment for malignant neoplasms depends on where they are located and if they have spread.
ICD-10-CM includes a tabular list and an alphabetic index like ICD-9-CM. ICD-10-CM also includes a neoplasm table organized much like the neoplasm table in ICD-9-CM. Similar to ICD-9-CM, chapter 2 in the ICD-10-CM tabular is titled "Neoplasms," but the code numbers are different.
The Neoplasm Table gives the code numbers for neoplasm by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in-situ, of uncertain behavior or of unspecified nature.
These are neoplasms which are currently benign but have characteristics that make it possible for the tumor to become malignant. One final category is available for unspecified neoplasm, which is used when pathology has not yet determined the specific behavior of the neoplasm.
Consequently, an “unspecified” condition is reported while awaiting additional information. “Neoplasm of uncertain behavior” is frequently documented to describe a mass that is awaiting confirmatory biopsy results.
It is appropriate for the pathologist to code what is known at the time of code assignment. For example, if the pathologist has made a diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma, assign code 173.3, Other malignant neoplasm of skin, skin of other and unspecified parts of face.
benign neoplasm of meninges ( D32.-) A benign growth of the cells that comprise the spinal cord.
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.
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] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
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.

Some nerve sheath tumors are treated with surgery.
Addressing malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors may involve multiple approaches including radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. If a person needs surgery for nerve sheath tumors, it is important to entrust expert surgeons since there is a risk of nerve damage with surgical treatment.
In other instances, they are part of a genetic condition such as NF1, NF2 or schwannomatosis, which are characterized by multiple nerve sheath tumors.
The nerve sheath is a layer of myelin and connective tissue that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers. A nerve sheath tumor is a growth within the cells of this covering.
They grow slowly but may eventually press against the spinal cord or nerve and cause pain or loss of function. Genetic conditions called neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and schwannomatosis are characterized by multiple nerve sheath tumors. A single (or sporadic) nerve sheath tumor can also occur in people who do not ...
Nerve Sheath Tumor Diagnosis. In most cases, MRI can evaluate and diagnose nerve sheath tumors. In some cases, such as when there are concerns that the tumor may be malignant, the doctor may recommend a biopsy in order to make a diagnosis.
A single (or sporadic) nerve sheath tumor can also occur in people who do not have NF1, NF2 or schw annomatosis. About 5 percent of all peripheral nerve sheath tumors are malignant.
