Family history of malignant neoplasm of fallopian tube(s)

This diagnosis code indicates a patient has a family history of fallopian tube cancer. This means a direct relative (e.g., parent, sibling, child) or other close family member has been diagnosed with a malignant neoplasm originating in the fallopian tube(s). This history is a significant risk factor for the patient.

This code is used when documenting a patient's family medical history during routine physicals, gynecological exams, or when evaluating a patient for cancer screening or genetic counseling due to increased risk. It is appropriate when the patient themselves does not have a personal history of fallopian tube cancer but has a known family member who does.

• Always confirm the specific type of cancer in the family history; this code is only for fallopian tube malignancy.
• Do not use this code if the patient has a personal history of fallopian tube cancer; use the appropriate personal history code or active cancer code.
• This code is often used as a secondary diagnosis to support medical necessity for increased surveillance or genetic testing.
