Personal history of malignant carcinoid tumor of kidney

This code indicates that a patient has a past medical history of a malignant carcinoid tumor that originated in the kidney. Although the tumor is no longer present, its prior existence is significant for ongoing patient management and surveillance. This history may influence future treatment decisions and screening protocols.

Use this code when documenting a patient's personal history of a successfully treated or resected malignant carcinoid tumor of the kidney. This applies to follow-up visits where the primary purpose is not related to active cancer treatment, but rather to monitor for recurrence or manage long-term effects. It is also appropriate for patients receiving care for unrelated conditions who have this significant past medical history.

• Do not use this code if the patient has active malignant carcinoid of the kidney; instead, code the active malignancy.
• This code is typically a secondary diagnosis, providing important historical context for the patient's overall health status.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the tumor was malignant and originated in the kidney to support the specificity of this code.
