Malignant neoplasm of scrotum

This code signifies the presence of a cancerous tumor originating in the scrotal sac. This malignancy can involve any of the tissues within the scrotum, such as the skin, connective tissue, or adnexal structures, but excludes testicular or epididymal primary cancers. It represents an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells within this specific anatomical region.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a primary malignant neoplasm of the scrotum. This diagnosis is typically established through biopsy and histopathological confirmation. Use this code for the initial diagnosis, active treatment, and follow-up care of scrotal cancer.

• Differentiate from malignant neoplasms of the testis (C62.-) or epididymis (C63.0).
• Ensure documentation specifies "scrotum" as the primary site, not just a general "male genital organ."
• Code any associated secondary malignancies or metastases separately.
