Malignant neoplasm of prepuce

This code signifies a cancerous growth originating in the prepuce, also known as the foreskin, of the penis. It indicates a primary malignant tumor, meaning the cancer started in this specific anatomical location.

Use this code for documented cases of squamous cell carcinoma or other primary malignant neoplasms identified in the penile foreskin. Supporting documentation should include pathology reports confirming malignancy and the specific site of origin.

• Ensure the pathology report clearly specifies the prepuce as the primary site, not an extension from another penile region.
• Do not use this code for benign lesions or carcinoma in situ of the prepuce; these have separate codes.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter, followed by any relevant secondary diagnoses or complications.
