Personal history of malig neoplasm of urinary tract organ

This code indicates a patient's past history of a malignant tumor affecting an organ within the urinary tract, excluding the bladder, kidney, or ureter. This means the patient has been diagnosed with and treated for such a cancer, and it is no longer present.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's history of cancer in urinary tract organs like the urethra, prostate (in males), or other specified urinary sites, once the malignancy has been successfully eradicated. It is used when the patient is no longer receiving active treatment for the primary malignancy and there is no evidence of recurrence or metastasis.

• Always confirm the specific urinary tract organ involved to ensure it's not the bladder, kidney, or ureter, which have more specific history codes.
• Do not use this code if the patient is currently undergoing treatment for the malignancy or if there is any active disease.
• Pair this code with codes for any current complications or sequelae related to the past malignancy or its treatment.
