Malignant neoplasm of clitoris

This code signifies a primary cancerous tumor originating in the clitoris. It indicates the presence of malignant cells specifically within the clitoral tissue, representing a form of vulvar cancer.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a primary malignant neoplasm of the clitoris. This diagnosis is typically confirmed through biopsy and histopathological examination.

• Ensure documentation specifies "clitoris" as the primary site; do not use for other vulvar sites.
• Always sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter.
• Review pathology reports for definitive confirmation of malignancy and site.
