Personal history of other malignant neoplasm of stomach

This code indicates a patient's past diagnosis of a malignant tumor in the stomach, excluding primary gastric lymphoma or carcinoid tumors. The patient has completed active treatment for this malignancy and is currently in remission or under surveillance.

Assign this code when documenting a patient's history of gastric cancer (other than lymphoma or carcinoid) for which they are no longer receiving active treatment. This is typically used for follow-up visits, surveillance, or when the history impacts current medical decision-making for unrelated conditions.

• Always sequence this code after any current, active diagnoses.
• Do not use this code if the patient is still undergoing active treatment for the gastric malignancy.
• Ensure the medical record clearly specifies the type of gastric malignancy to rule out lymphoma or carcinoid.
