ICD10 code: D61.9
ICD9 code: 238.4
Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma is a rare genetic condition characterized by the development of benign smooth muscle tumors (leiomyomas) in the skin and uterus, and an increased risk of developing renal cell carcinoma. The ICD10 code for this condition is D61.9, while the corresponding ICD9 code is 238.4.
Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of benign smooth muscle tumors (leiomyomas) in the skin and uterus, as well as an increased risk of developing aggressive kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides specific codes for these conditions.
The ICD-10 code for Hereditary Leiomyomatosis is D76.1. This code is used to classify diseases associated with disorders of white blood cells and the reticuloendothelial system. Hereditary Leiomyomatosis falls under this category due to its genetic nature involving mutations in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene.
The ICD-10 code for Renal Cell Carcinoma is C64.9. This code is used to classify malignant neoplasms of the kidney, excluding the renal pelvis. Renal Cell Carcinoma is a type of kidney cancer that arises from the cells of the renal tubules, and individuals with HLRCC have an increased risk of developing this specific type of kidney cancer.
It's important to note that the ICD-10 codes provide a standardized system for classifying and documenting medical conditions, facilitating accurate diagnosis, treatment, and research. These codes are used by healthcare professionals, researchers, and insurance companies to ensure consistent and reliable communication regarding patients' conditions.
As for the ICD-9 code, it is no longer in use as it has been replaced by the ICD-10 coding system. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, and the new coding system offers greater specificity and detail in describing medical conditions. Therefore, only the ICD-10 codes should be used for proper classification and documentation of Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma.
