Personal history of malignant neoplasm of prt nervous tissue

This code indicates a patient's past diagnosis of a malignant tumor affecting nervous tissue outside of the brain, spinal cord, or cranial nerves. It signifies that the primary cancer has been excised or is in remission, and the patient is now being seen for follow-up, surveillance, or treatment of unrelated conditions.

Use this code when documenting a patient's history of a primary malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves, autonomic nervous system, or other specified nervous tissue. This is appropriate for encounters where the primary malignancy is no longer active and the patient is not receiving active treatment for that specific cancer.

• Always sequence this code after any codes for active conditions or current treatment.
• Do not use this code if the patient is currently undergoing active treatment for the primary malignant neoplasm.
• Specify the exact location of the previous malignancy if known and a more specific history code is available.
