Malignant neoplasm of paraurethral glands

This code signifies a cancerous tumor originating in the paraurethral glands, also known as Skene's glands, which are located near the female urethra. This is a rare form of genitourinary malignancy.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a primary malignant neoplasm of the paraurethral glands. This diagnosis is typically confirmed by biopsy and pathology reports.

• Ensure the pathology report confirms malignancy and specifies the paraurethral glands as the primary site.
• Distinguish from urethral carcinoma (188.x) or other vulvar malignancies (184.x).
• Sequence as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter or treatment.
