Code Classification

  • Neoplasms
    (C00–D49)
    • In situ neoplasms
      (D00-D09)
      • Carcinoma in situ of middle ear and respiratory system
        (D02)

D02.0 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of carcinoma in situ of larynx. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic aryepiglottic fold laryngeal aspect ; Neoplasm, neoplastic arytenoid (cartilage) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] arytenoid ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] cricoid ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] cuneiform ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] epiglottis ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] larynx, laryngeal ; etc

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Epiglottis

    a thin leaf-shaped cartilage that is covered with laryngeal mucosa and situated posterior to the root of the tongue and hyoid bone. during swallowing, the epiglottis folds back over the larynx inlet thus prevents foods from entering the airway.
  • Glottis

    the vocal apparatus of the larynx, situated in the middle section of the larynx. glottis consists of the vocal folds and an opening (rima glottidis) between the folds.

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
  • Carcinoma in situ of aryepiglottic fold or interarytenoid fold, laryngeal aspect
  • Carcinoma in situ of epiglottis (suprahyoid portion)

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • carcinoma in situ of aryepiglottic fold or interarytenoid fold NOS D00.08
  • carcinoma in situ of hypopharyngeal aspect D00.08
  • carcinoma in situ of marginal zone D00.08

Table of Neoplasms

This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.

Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Patient Education


Throat Cancer

Throat cancer is a type of head and neck cancer. Throat cancer has different names, depending on which part of the throat is affected. The different parts of your throat are called the oropharynx, the hypopharynx, the nasopharynx, and the larynx, or voice box.

The main risk factors for throat cancer are using tobacco heavy drinking. Certain types of throat cancer also have other risk factors. For example, having HPV is a risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer.

Symptoms of throat cancer may include:

  • A sore throat that does not go away
  • A lump in the neck
  • Pain or ringing in the ears
  • Trouble swallowing
  • Ear pain

To diagnose throat cancers, doctors may do a physical exam and history, imaging tests, and a biopsy. You may also need other tests, depending on the type of cancer. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Treatment for some types of throat cancer may also include targeted therapy. Targeted therapy uses drugs or other substances that attack specific cancer cells with less harm to normal cells.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
