Family history of malignant neoplasm of testis

This code indicates a documented family history of testicular cancer in a first-degree relative (e.g., father, brother) or other close blood relative. This history is a significant risk factor for an individual developing the same malignancy.

Assign this code when a patient presents for screening, counseling, or evaluation due to a known family history of testicular neoplasm. It is also appropriate when this family history is identified during a routine physical or workup for other conditions.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, as it describes a risk factor, not a current condition.
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the specific family member affected and the type of cancer.
• Do not use this code if the patient themselves has a personal history of testicular cancer; use a personal history code instead.
