Malignant neoplasm of endocervix

This code signifies a cancerous tumor originating within the endocervical canal, the inner lining of the cervix. This malignancy typically arises from glandular cells and can invade surrounding tissues if left untreated.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a malignant neoplasm of the endocervix. This diagnosis is often confirmed by biopsy and pathology reports. Use this code for primary tumors located specifically in the endocervical region.

• Differentiate from malignant neoplasms of the exocervix (the outer portion of the cervix).
• Ensure the pathology report confirms malignancy and specifies the endocervical location.
• Sequencing will depend on the reason for the encounter; if treatment for the malignancy is the primary focus, this code will be primary.
