Code Classification

  • Neoplasms
    (C00–D49)
    • Malignant neoplasms of thyroid and other endocrine glands
      (C73-C75)
      • Malignant neoplasm of other endocrine glands and related structures
        (C75)

C75 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of other endocrine glands and related structures. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Malignant neoplasm of endo glands and related structures

Non-specific codes like C75 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for malignant neoplasm of endo glands and related structures:

  • Use C75.0 for Malignant neoplasm of parathyroid gland - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C75.1 for Malignant neoplasm of pituitary gland - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C75.2 for Malignant neoplasm of craniopharyngeal duct - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C75.3 for Malignant neoplasm of pineal gland - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C75.4 for Malignant neoplasm of carotid body - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C75.5 for Malignant neoplasm of aortic body and other paraganglia - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C75.8 for Malignant neoplasm with pluriglandular involvement, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C75.9 for Malignant neoplasm of endocrine gland, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

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.


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.
  • malignant carcinoid tumors C7A.0
  • malignant neoplasm of adrenal gland C74
  • malignant neoplasm of endocrine pancreas C25.4
  • malignant neoplasm of islets of Langerhans C25.4
  • malignant neoplasm of ovary C56
  • malignant neoplasm of testis C62
  • malignant neoplasm of thymus C37
  • malignant neoplasm of thyroid gland C73
  • malignant neuroendocrine tumors C7A

Patient Education


Cancer

Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for where they start. For example, lung cancer starts in the lung, and breast cancer starts in the breast. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another is called metastasis. Symptoms and treatment depend on the cancer type and how advanced it is. Most treatment plans may include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. Some may involve hormone therapy, immunotherapy or other types of biologic therapy, or stem cell transplantation.

Endocrine Diseases

Your endocrine system includes eight major glands throughout your body. These glands make hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers. They travel through your bloodstream to tissues or organs. Hormones work slowly and affect body processes from head to toe. These include:

  • Growth and development
  • Metabolism - digestion, elimination, breathing, blood circulation and maintaining body temperature
  • Sexual function
  • Reproduction
  • Mood

If your hormone levels are too high or too low, you may have a hormone disorder. Hormone diseases also occur if your body does not respond to hormones the way it is supposed to. Stress, infection and changes in your blood's fluid and electrolyte balance can also influence hormone levels.

In the United States, the most common endocrine disease is diabetes. There are many others. They are usually treated by controlling how much hormone your body makes. Hormone supplements can help if the problem is too little of a hormone.
