Personal history of trophoblastic disease

This code signifies a patient's past medical history of any form of trophoblastic disease, such as hydatidiform mole (molar pregnancy), choriocarcinoma, or placental site trophoblastic tumor. It indicates that the patient has previously been diagnosed with and treated for this condition, but it is no longer active.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's medical history for follow-up care after successful treatment of trophoblastic disease. It is used to indicate a prior diagnosis that may influence current management or surveillance, such as monitoring for recurrence or complications.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, as it represents a historical condition, not an active one.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient has a history of trophoblastic disease and is not currently being treated for an active case.
• Do not use this code for active trophoblastic disease; refer to codes within the 181 category for current malignant neoplasms of the placenta.
