Clinical InformationClinical

  • Choriocarcinoma

    a malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. unlike the hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma contains no chorionic villi but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (trophoblasts). it is characterized by the large amounts of chorionic gonadotropin produced. tissue origins can be determined by dna analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (choriocarcinoma, non-gestational).

  • Choriocarcinoma, Non-gestational

    a highly malignant choriocarcinoma derived from the non-placental origin such as the totipotent cells in the testis, the ovary, and the pineal gland. it produces high levels of chorionic gonadotropin and can metastasize widely through the bloodstream to the lungs, brain, liver, bone, and other viscera by the time of diagnosis.

  • Seminoma

    a radiosensitive, malignant neoplasm of the testis, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. there are three variants: classical (typical), the most common type; anaplastic; and spermatocytic. the classical seminoma is composed of fairly well differentiated sheets or cords of uniform polygonal or round cells (seminoma cells), each cell having abundant clear cytoplasm, distinct cell membranes, a centrally placed round nucleus, and one or more nucleoli. in the female, a grossly and histologically identical neoplasm, known as dysgerminoma, occurs.

Patient EducationClinical

Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is a cancer that develops in the tissues of one or both testicles. The testicles, or testes, are part of the male reproductive system. They make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped glands inside the scrotum, a sac of loose skin that lies below the penis. You can get cancer in one or both testicles.

Questions About C62.90Overview

Is C62.90 a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report malignant neoplasm of unspecified testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What MS-DRG does C62.90 group to?

When malignant neoplasm of unspecified testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 715, 716, 722, 723, 724, with relative weights from 0.6117 to 2.2373 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of C62.90?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, malignant neoplasm of unspecified testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended converts to ICD-9-CM 186.9 (malig neo testis NEC). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.

[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.
