Malignant neoplasm of glans penis

This code signifies a primary cancerous tumor originating in the glans penis, the sensitive, rounded tip of the penis. It represents a malignant growth specifically located on this distal portion of the organ.

Apply this code when documentation clearly specifies a primary malignant neoplasm confined to the glans penis. This is appropriate for confirmed diagnoses of squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, or other primary malignancies affecting this specific anatomical site.

• Ensure documentation specifies "glans penis" and not another part of the penis (e.g., shaft, prepuce) for accurate coding.
• Do not use for secondary or metastatic neoplasms; a primary site must be indicated.
• Consider an additional code for the specific histological type of malignancy if known and documented.
