Malignant neoplasm of clitoris

This code signifies a primary cancerous tumor originating in the clitoris. It indicates the presence of malignant cells within the clitoral tissue, representing a serious gynecological malignancy.

Use this code for confirmed diagnoses of primary clitoral carcinoma, typically following biopsy and histopathological examination. Documentation should clearly state a malignant neoplasm of the clitoris, often specifying the type (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma).

• Ensure documentation specifies "malignant" and "clitoris" to differentiate from benign lesions or other vulvar cancers.
• Do not use for secondary or metastatic lesions to the clitoris; use appropriate secondary malignancy codes.
• Consider sequencing with codes for any associated symptoms, complications, or treatment modalities.
