Endometrial Mass ICD-10-CM Codes
Read this short guide and learn about endometrial mass ICD codes you can use to ensure good medical billing and coding.
What endometrial mass ICD codes can I use?
If you’re looking for endometrial mass ICD codes, we’d like you to know there are no ICD-10 codes with endometrial mass in their names. That doesn’t mean there are no ICD codes for that specific problem. If a female patient has an endometrial mass, they have a tumor in their uterus. Given this, the ICD codes you use should relate to endometrial or uterine cancer. Here are the two ICD-10 codes you can use:
- C54.1 - Malignant neoplasm of endometrium
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have a malignant neoplasm in their endometrium. A malignant neoplasm is another term to refer to a cancerous tumor, so if a female patient has an endometrial mass that’s cancerous, then this ICD-10 code can be used.
- C79.82 - Secondary malignant neoplasm of genital organs
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a malignant neoplasm in their genital organs. A secondary malignant neoplasm is a type of malignant tumor that emerged due to a pre-existing lower grade lesion, if a cancer has spread from somewhere to the genital organs, or due to a cancer treatment complication. If the endometrial mass results from any of these, you can use this ICD-10 code.
Are these endometrial mass ICD codes billable?
Yes. Both of these endometrial mass-related ICD-10 codes are valid and billable.
Clinical information about endometrial mass
When we speak of an endometrial mass, we’re referring to tumors that form from an accretion of cells in the uterus that mutate and multiply. If these cells mutate into cancer cells, the endometrial mass is cancerous. If there are cancerous endometrial masses, the patient has endometrial/uterine cancer.
Uterine cancer, just like any cancer, is dangerous. If a person has uterine cancer, they will likely have the following symptoms:
- They will have vaginal bleeding between their periods before or after menopause (if the person is over the age of 40, the vaginal bleeding is prolonged, heavy, or frequent)
- They will feel pain in their abdominal region
- They will feel pain in their pelvic region
- Vaginal discharge (clear/thin white) after menopause
Synonyms include:
- Endometrial carcinoma
- Endometrial carcinosarcoma
- Endometrial stromal sarcoma
- Endometrial stromal tumor
- High grade endometrial stromal sarcoma
- Low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma
- Endometrial tumor confined to corpus uteri
- Tumor limited to endometrium
- Endometrial tumor invades up to or less than one half of the endometrium
- Endometrial tumor invades more than one half of the endometrium
- Endometrial tumor invades cervix, but does not extend beyond uterus
- Endometrial tumor with endocervical glandular involvement
- Endometrial tumor with cervical stromal invasion
- Endometrial tumor invades bladder mucosa and/or bowel mucosa
