2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D39.8
Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified female genital organs
- ICD-10-CM Code:
- D39.8
- ICD-10 Code for:
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of oth female genital organs
- Is Billable?
- Yes - Valid for Submission
- Chronic Condition Indicator: [1]
- Not chronic
- Code Navigator:
D39.8 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified female genital organs. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
This code is applicable to female patients only. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient.
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic adnexa (uterine) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic Bartholin's gland ; Neoplasm, neoplastic broad ligament ; Neoplasm, neoplastic clitoris ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fallopian tube (accessory) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fornix vagina ; Neoplasm, neoplastic fourchette ; etc
Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Lesion of clitoris
- Neoplasm of clitoris
- Neoplasm of labia majora
- Neoplasm of labia minora
- Neoplasm of parametrium
- Neoplasm of round ligament of uterus
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of broad ligament of uterus
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of clitoris
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of fallopian tube
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of labia majora
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of labia minora
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of parametrium
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of pelvic peritoneum

- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of pelvic peritoneum
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of round ligament of uterus
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of uterine adnexa
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of vagina
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of vulva
Clinical Classification
Clinical Category is Neoplasms of unspecified nature or uncertain behavior
- CCSR Category Code: NEO072
- Inpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default inpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
- Outpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default outpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Clinical Information
Broad Ligament
a broad fold of peritoneum that extends from the side of the uterus to the wall of the pelvis.Internal Hernia
a protrusion of an internal abdominal organ through a hole in an anatomical structure such as a muscle or a membrane. for instance, in paraduodenal hernia the small intestine herniates through an opening in the mesenteries. it includes intra-abdominal and diaphragmatic hernias. in abdominal hernia a protrusion occurs through a weak spot in the muscle of the abdominal wall.Clitoris
an erectile structure homologous with the penis, situated beneath the anterior labial commissure, partially hidden between the anterior ends of the labia minora.Pudendal Nerve
a nerve which originates in the sacral spinal cord (s2 to s4) and innervates the perineum, the external genitalia, the external anal sphincter and the external urethral sphincter. it has three major branches: the perineal nerve, inferior anal nerves, and the dorsal nerve of penis or clitoris.
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 TermsThese 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.
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of skin of female genital organs
Code Edits
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10-CM Code Edits are applicable to this code:
- Diagnoses for females only - The Medicare Code Editor detects inconsistencies between a patient’s sex and any diagnosis on the patient’s record, these edits apply to FEMALES only .
Convert D39.8 to ICD-9-CM
- ICD-9-CM Code: 236.3 - Unc behav neo female NEC
Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
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
Ovarian Disorders
The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. Women have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond.
The ovaries produce and store a woman's eggs. During ovulation, an ovary releases an egg. If that egg is fertilized by a sperm, a pregnancy can occur. Ovaries also make the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. When a woman goes through menopause, her ovaries stop making those hormones and releasing eggs.
Problems with the ovaries include:
- Ovarian cancer
- Ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome
- Primary ovarian insufficiency
- Ovarian torsion, a twisting of the ovary

Uterine Diseases
The uterus, or womb, is the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. The first sign of a problem with the uterus may be bleeding between periods or after sex. Causes can include hormones, thyroid problems, fibroids, polyps, cancer, infection, or pregnancy.
Treatment depends on the cause. Sometimes birth control pills treat hormonal imbalances. If a thyroid problem is the cause, treating it may also stop the bleeding. If you have cancer or hyperplasia, an overgrowth of normal cells in the uterus, you may need surgery.
With two other uterine problems, tissue that normally lines the uterus grows where it is not supposed to. In endometriosis, it grows outside the uterus. In adenomyosis, it grows in the uterus's outside walls. Pain medicine may help. Other treatments include hormones and surgery.

Vaginal Diseases
Vaginal problems are some of the most common reasons women go to the doctor. They may have symptoms such as:
- Itching
- Burning
- Pain
- Abnormal bleeding
- Discharge
One common problem is vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. Other problems that affect the vagina include sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer. Treatment of vaginal problems depends on the cause.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
