Code Classification

  • Neoplasms
    (C00–D49)
    • In situ neoplasms
      (D00-D09)
      • Carcinoma in situ of oral cavity, esophagus and stomach
        (D00)

D00.08 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of carcinoma in situ of pharynx. 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 adenoid (pharynx) (tissue) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aryepiglottic fold ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aryepiglottic fold hypopharyngeal aspect ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aryepiglottic fold marginal zone ; Neoplasm, neoplastic auditory tube opening ; Neoplasm, neoplastic branchial (cleft) (cyst) (vestiges) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] epiglottis anterior surface ; etc

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Oropharyngeal Neoplasms

    tumors or cancer of the oropharynx.
  • Oropharynx

    the middle portion of the pharynx that lies posterior to the mouth, inferior to the soft palate, and superior to the base of the tongue and epiglottis. it has a digestive function as food passes from the mouth into the oropharynx before entering esophagus.

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 NOS
  • Carcinoma in situ of hypopharyngeal aspect of aryepiglottic fold
  • Carcinoma in situ of marginal zone of aryepiglottic fold

Convert D00.08 to ICD-9-CM

    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


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.
