Malignant neoplasm of prepuce

This code signifies a primary cancerous tumor originating in the foreskin of the penis. It represents a malignant growth specifically located on the prepuce, indicating a confirmed diagnosis of penile cancer affecting this particular anatomical site.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of the prepuce. This typically occurs following biopsy confirmation of squamous cell carcinoma or other primary malignant cell types found in the foreskin. Ensure the physician's notes specify the prepuce as the primary site of the malignancy.

• Confirm the malignancy is primary to the prepuce; do not use for metastatic disease to this site.
• Distinguish from other penile malignant neoplasms (e.g., glans, shaft) which have different codes.
• Ensure pathology reports support the diagnosis of malignancy and specify the prepuce as the origin.
