2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D49.519
Neoplasm of unspecified behavior of unspecified kidney
- ICD-10-CM Code:
- D49.519
- ICD-10 Code for:
- Neoplasm of unspecified behavior of unspecified kidney
- Is Billable?
- Yes - Valid for Submission
- Chronic Condition Indicator: [1]
- Not chronic
- Code Navigator:
D49.519 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of unspecified behavior of unspecified kidney. 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 the parent code D49.51 of the current diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic calyx, renal ; Neoplasm, neoplastic kidney (parenchymal) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic kidney (parenchymal) calyx ; Neoplasm, neoplastic kidney (parenchymal) hilus ; Neoplasm, neoplastic kidney (parenchymal) pelvis ; Neoplasm, neoplastic parenchyma, kidney ; Neoplasm, neoplastic pelvis, pelvic renal ; etc
Unspecified diagnosis codes like D49.519 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Acquired renal cyst with neoplastic change
- Acquired renal cystic disease
- Adrenal gland uninvolved by renal tumor
- Erythrocytosis due to renal tumor
- Familial papillary thyroid carcinoma with renal papillary neoplasia syndrome
- Gerota's fascia uninvolved by renal tumor
- Inappropriate secondary erythrocytosis
- Neoplasm of kidney
- Neoplasm of parenchyma of kidney
- Neoplasm of renal pelvis
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma with renal papillary neoplasia
- Primary differentiated carcinoma of thyroid gland
- Primary papillary thyroid carcinoma
- Primary papillary thyroid carcinoma with renal papillary neoplasia
- Renal sinus vessel involved by tumor
- Renal tumor finding
- Renal tumor finding
- Renal tumor finding
- Renal tumor finding
- Renal tumor limited to kidney macroscopically
- Renal vein uninvolved by renal tumor
- Soft tissue of renal sinus involved by tumor
- Tumor of renal calyx
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.
Replacement Code
D49519 replaces the following previously assigned ICD-10-CM code(s):
- D49.5 - Neoplasm of unsp behavior of other genitourinary organs
Convert D49.519 to ICD-9-CM
- ICD-9-CM Code: 239.5 - Other gu neoplasm NOS
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
The parent code D49.51 of the current diagnosis 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.

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.
