ICD10 code of Phyllodes tumor and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Phyllodes tumor? And the ICD9 code for Phyllodes tumor?
Phyllodes tumor is a rare type of breast tumor that originates from the connective tissue (stroma) of the breast. It is classified as a fibroepithelial tumor, and its behavior can range from benign to borderline or malignant. In terms of medical coding, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and 9th Revision (ICD-9) provide codes to accurately document and classify various medical conditions.
The ICD-10 code for Phyllodes tumor is D48.1, which falls under the category of neoplasms of uncertain behavior of the connective and other soft tissue. This code is used to identify and track cases of Phyllodes tumor in medical records and statistical data. It is important for healthcare professionals and researchers to accurately code and document such conditions to ensure proper diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Phyllodes tumor is 238.2, which is classified under the category of neoplasms of uncertain behavior. It is worth noting that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015, so healthcare providers have been utilizing the ICD-10 code for Phyllodes tumor since then.
Accurate coding facilitates effective communication among healthcare providers, insurers, and researchers, enabling comprehensive analysis and improved patient care.
