• Metastasis to esophagus typically from breast or lung. Esophageal cancer is classified to ICD-9-CM category 150. The fourth digit identifies the site of the cancer as follows: • 150.0, Cervical esophagus; • 150.1, Thoracic esophagus; • 150.2, Abdominal esophagus; • 150.3, Upper third of esophagus, proximal third of esophagus;
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
The lifetime risk of esophageal cancer in the United States is about 1 in 125 in men and about 1 in 417 in women. (See Esophageal Cancer Risk Factors to learn about factors that can affect these chances.)

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.
Code C80. 1, Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified, equates to Cancer, unspecified. This code should only be used when no determination can be made as to the primary site of a malignancy.
ICD-10 code Z51. 11 for Encounter for antineoplastic chemotherapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The most common pattern of esophageal cancer metastases (ECM) is to the lymph nodes, lung, liver, bones, adrenal glands, and brain. On the other hand, unexpected metastasis (UM) spread to uncommon sites has increasingly reported and consequently affected the pathway of diagnosis, staging, and management.
530.3 - Stricture and stenosis of esophagus | ICD-10-CM.
Adenocarcinomas are often found in the lower third of the esophagus (lower thoracic esophagus). In some conditions, such as Barrett's esophagus, gland cells begin to replace the squamous cells in the lower part of the esophagus, and this might lead to adenocarcinoma.
ICD-10 code K20. 9 for Esophagitis, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Code R13. 10 is the diagnosis code used for Dysphagia, Unspecified. It is a disorder characterized by difficulty in swallowing. It may be observed in patients with stroke, motor neuron disorders, cancer of the throat or mouth, head and neck injuries, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
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.
Primary malignant neoplasm of lower third of esophagus. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of lower third of esophagus. Squamous cell carcinoma, lower third of esophagus. Clinical Information. A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the lower third segment of the esophagus.
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.
Approximate Synonyms. Cancer distal third of esophagus, adenocarcinoma. Cancer of the esophagus, abdominal. Cancer of the esophagus, lower third. Primary adenocarcinoma of distal third of esophagus. Primary malignant neoplasm of abdominal esophagus. Primary malignant neoplasm of lower third of esophagus.
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.
Types of Esophageal Cancer. The following are the most common types of esophageal cancer: • Squamous cell or epidermoid carcinoma develops in the squamous cells that line the esophagus. • Adenocarcinoma originates in the glandular tissue in the distal portion of the stomach.
Complications. The following are some of the more common complications that may occur with esophageal cancer: • Tracheoesophageal fistula (530.84), a hole between the esophagus and windpipe. • Esophageal obstruction (530.3) due to the growth of tumor.
Surgery may include the following: • Esophagectomy (excision of esophagus and nearby lymph nodes). • Esophagogastrectomy (removes the esophagus, nearby lymph nodes, and the upper part of stomach). Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may also be used to treat esophageal cancer.
Esophageal cancer is a form of cancer that starts in the inner layer of the esophagus. Because it is rare to have symptoms related to esophageal cancer in the early stages, it typically is not detected until the more advanced stages.
The additional tests may include: • Bronchoscopy to determine if the cancer has spread to the lungs and/or the trachea. • Computerized tomography scan to confirm the exact location of the tumor and whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs.
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.
Malignant neoplasm of stomach. Approximate Synonyms. Adenocarcinoma, cardia of stomach. Cancer of the cardioesophageal junction. Cancer of the stomach, cardia. Primary adenocarcinoma of cardia of stomach. Primary malignant neoplasm of cardia of stomach. Primary malignant neoplasm of cardioesophageal junction.
