Personal history of malignant neoplasm of renal pelvis

This code indicates that a patient has a past medical history of a malignant tumor originating in the renal pelvis, but the cancer is no longer present and the patient is not currently receiving treatment for it. It signifies a personal history of this specific type of cancer, implying that the patient is now cancer-free or in remission.

Use this code for patients who have completed treatment for renal pelvis cancer and are now in a surveillance phase, or for those whose cancer has been surgically removed with no evidence of recurrence. It is appropriate when documenting a patient's past medical history during routine follow-up appointments or for unrelated medical encounters.

• Always ensure the patient is no longer actively receiving treatment for the renal pelvis malignancy.
• Do not use this code if the patient has a current, active malignancy of the renal pelvis; instead, use the appropriate C-code.
• Consider using additional codes for any long-term effects or complications resulting from the past malignancy or its treatment.
