C75.5 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of aortic body and other paraganglia. The code is valid during the fiscal year 2023 from October 01, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic aortic body ; Neoplasm, neoplastic glomus jugularis ; Neoplasm, neoplastic organ of Zuckerkandl ; Neoplasm, neoplastic para-aortic body ; Neoplasm, neoplastic paraganglion NEC ; Neoplasm, neoplastic Zuckerkandl organ ; etc

Clinical Information
- Esthesioneuroblastoma, Olfactory-. a malignant olfactory neuroblastoma arising from the olfactory epithelium of the superior nasal cavity and cribriform plate. it is uncommon (3% of nasal tumors) and rarely is associated with the production of excess hormones (e.g., siadh, cushing syndrome). it has a high propensity for multiple local recurrences and bony metastases. (from holland et al., cancer medicine, 3rd ed, p1245; j laryngol otol 1998 jul;112(7):628-33)
- Neuroblastoma-. a common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. this tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. (from devita et al., cancer: principles and practice of oncology, 5th ed, pp2099-2101; curr opin oncol 1998 jan;10(1):43-51)
- Retinoblastoma-. a malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. the tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. the majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. an abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); nystagmus, pathologic; strabismus; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition. (from devita et al., cancer: principles and practice of oncology, 5th ed, p2104)

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
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.
