Bladder Mass ICD-10-CM Codes

What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Bladder Mass 

Bladder mass refers to abnormal growths or tumors that develop within the bladder. Accurate diagnosis and coding are essential for effective healthcare management. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) provides specific codes to classify bladder masses based on their characteristics and clinical presentations.

Commonly used Bladder Mass ICD codes include:

C67.0: Malignant neoplasm of bladder trigone

This code indicates the presence of a malignant tumor located specifically in the bladder trigone, which is the triangular area at the base of the bladder.

C67.1: Malignant neoplasm of dome of bladder

This code represents a malignant tumor situated in the dome of the bladder, which is the uppermost part of the bladder.

C67.2: Malignant neoplasm of lateral wall of bladder

It denotes a malignant tumor found in the lateral walls of the bladder, which are the sides of the bladder.

C67.3: Malignant neoplasm of anterior wall of bladder

This code indicates the presence of a malignant tumor located in the front wall of the bladder.

C67.4: Malignant neoplasm of posterior wall of bladder

It represents a malignant tumor located in the back wall of the bladder.

D09.0: Carcinoma in situ of bladder

This code is used when there is evidence of carcinoma in situ, which refers to abnormal cells in the bladder but not yet invaded the deeper layers.

N32.0: Bladder-neck obstruction

This code is used when there is an obstruction at the neck of the bladder, often leading to urinary symptoms.

N31.0: Uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

It denotes a neuropathic bladder, which is a condition caused by nerve damage that leads to problems with bladder function, specifically characterized by reduced or absent bladder control.

N31.9: Neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, unspecified

This code is used when there is bladder dysfunction due to a combination of neuromuscular factors without a specific diagnosis.

R31.0: Gross hematuria

It represents the presence of visible blood in the urine, which is often associated with various bladder conditions, including bladder masses.

Which Bladder Mass ICD codes are Billable: 

Here's an explanation of whether commonly used Bladder Mass ICD-10-CM codes are billable:

C67.0: Malignant neoplasm of bladder trigone

Yes, this code represents a billable condition, specifically identifying a malignant tumor in the bladder trigone requiring medical attention and treatment.

C67.1: Malignant neoplasm of dome of bladder

Yes, this code is billable as it indicates the presence of a malignant tumor in the dome of the bladder, necessitating medical intervention.

C67.2: Malignant neoplasm of lateral wall of bladder

Yes, this code is billable as it signifies a malignant tumor in the lateral walls of the bladder, which requires medical assessment and management.

C67.3: Malignant neoplasm of anterior wall of bladder

Yes, this code is billable as it identifies a malignant tumor in the front wall of the bladder, necessitating medical attention and treatment.

C67.4: Malignant neoplasm of posterior wall of bladder

Yes, this code is billable as it denotes a malignant tumor in the back wall of the bladder requiring medical intervention.

‍D09.0: Carcinoma in situ of bladder

 Yes, this code is billable as it represents the presence of carcinoma in situ, which requires medical assessment and monitoring for potential progression to invasive cancer.

N32.0: Bladder-neck obstruction

Yes, this code is billable as it indicates the presence of bladder-neck obstruction, which may require medical interventions such as catheterization or surgical procedures.

N31.0: Uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

Yes, this code is billable as it identifies a specific bladder dysfunction caused by neuropathic factors requiring medical management and treatment.

N31.9: Neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, unspecified

Yes, this code is billable as it represents a generalized neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, necessitating medical evaluation and treatment.

R31.0: Gross hematuria 

No, this code is not billable as it represents a symptom (visible blood in urine) rather than a specific diagnosis. However, if it is documented with a bladder mass diagnosis, the associated code for the bladder mass would be billable.

Clinical Information

• Bladder masses can manifest as benign or malignant growths within the bladder.
• These masses can vary in size, location, and characteristics, impacting their clinical significance.
• Symptoms associated with bladder masses may include hematuria (blood in urine), frequent urination, pain during urination, urinary urgency, and urinary retention.
• Diagnostic tests such as cystoscopy, imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan), and biopsy evaluate bladder masses.
• Common types of bladder masses include bladder cancer, polyps, and bladder stones.
• Bladder cancer is the most concerning form of bladder mass, with transitional cell carcinoma being the most prevalent type.
• Risk factors for bladder masses include smoking, exposure to certain chemicals (e.g., aromatic amines), chronic bladder irritation or infections, and family history.
• Treatment options for bladder masses depend on factors like the type, size, and stage of the mass. They may include surgery (e.g., transurethral resection, partial or complete bladder removal), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy.
• Regular surveillance and follow-up are crucial to monitor the recurrence or progression of bladder masses, especially in cases of bladder cancer.
• Prompt medical evaluation is necessary if any concerning symptoms related to bladder masses are experienced to ensure early detection and appropriate management.

Synonyms Include:

• Bladder tumors
• Bladder growths
• Bladder neoplasms
• Bladder lesions
• Bladder nodules
