Personal history of malignant carcinoid tumor of stomach

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of a malignant carcinoid tumor that originated in the stomach. While the tumor is no longer present or active, its prior existence is significant for ongoing patient management and risk assessment. Carcinoid tumors are a type of neuroendocrine tumor.

This code is used when documenting a patient's history of a successfully treated or resected malignant gastric carcinoid tumor. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, surveillance, or when the history impacts current treatment decisions for other conditions. Do not use this code if the patient has active disease.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "personal history of" and specifies the stomach as the primary site.
• Distinguish this from active malignant carcinoid of the stomach (C7A.091) or benign gastric carcinoid.
• Always review pathology reports and operative notes to confirm the malignancy and primary site.
