Solitary plasmacytoma in remission

This code signifies a solitary plasmacytoma that is no longer active and shows no evidence of disease. It indicates that the patient has completed treatment and is currently in a state of remission for this specific plasma cell neoplasm.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a prior diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma and subsequent medical evaluation indicates complete remission. This is typically used for follow-up encounters after successful treatment, such as radiation therapy or surgical excision, where no active disease is present.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "in remission" for solitary plasmacytoma; "history of" alone is insufficient.
• Do not use this code if the plasmacytoma is still active or if there is evidence of progression to multiple myeloma.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis if the patient is being seen for complications related to the prior treatment or for monitoring for recurrence.
