Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Clavicle

    a bone on the ventral side of the shoulder girdle, which in humans is commonly called the collar bone.
  • Coccyx

    the last bone in the vertebral column in tailless primates considered to be a vestigial tail-bone consisting of three to five fused vertebrae.
  • Costal Cartilage

    bars of hyaline cartilage extending from the anterior ends of the upper ribs. they attach to the sternum directly or indirectly by connecting to upper costal cartilage that attaches to the sternum. costal cartilages extend the ribs anteriorly and contribute to the enhanced elasticity of the thoracic wall.
  • Ischium

    one of three bones that make up the coxal bone of the pelvic girdle. in tetrapods, it is the part of the pelvis that projects backward on the ventral side, and in primates, it bears the weight of the sitting animal.
  • Cementoma

    an odontogenic fibroma in which cells have developed into cementoblasts and which consists largely of cementum.
  • Mandible

    the largest and strongest bone of the face constituting the lower jaw. it supports the lower teeth.
  • Nucleus Pulposus

    fibrocartilage inner core of the intervertebral disc. prolapsed or bulged nucleus pulposus leads to intervertebral disc displacement while proliferation of cells in the nucleus pulposus is associated with intervertebral disc degeneration.
  • Chondromalacia Patellae

    a degeneration of the articular cartilage of the patella, caused by a decrease in sulfated mucopolysaccharides in the ground substance. when accompanied by pain, it is sometimes considered part of or confused with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
  • Patella

    the flat, triangular bone situated at the anterior part of the knee.
  • Patella Fracture

    fractures of the patella.
  • Patellar Dislocation

    displacement of the patella from the femoral groove.
  • Patellar Ligament

    a band of fibrous tissue that attaches the apex of the patella to the lower part of the tubercle of the tibia. the ligament is actually the caudal continuation of the common tendon of the quadriceps femoris. the patella is embedded in that tendon. as such, the patellar ligament can be thought of as connecting the quadriceps femoris tendon to the tibia, and therefore it is sometimes called the patellar tendon.
  • Pubic Bone

    a bone that forms the lower and anterior part of each side of the hip bone.
  • Sternum

    a long, narrow, and flat bone commonly known as breastbone occurring in the midsection of the anterior thoracic segment or chest region, which stabilizes the rib cage and serves as the point of origin for several muscles that move the arms, head, and neck.

Convert C79.51 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 198.5 - Secondary malig neo bone
    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


Bone Cancer

Cancer that starts in a bone is uncommon. Cancer that has spread to the bone from another part of the body is more common.

There are three types of bone cancer:

  • Osteosarcoma - occurs most often between ages 10 and 19. It is more common in the knee and upper arm.
  • Chondrosarcoma - starts in cartilage, usually after age 40
  • Ewing's sarcoma - occurs most often in children and teens under 19. It is more common in boys than girls.

The most common symptom of bone cancer is pain. Other symptoms vary, depending on the location and size of the cancer. Surgery is often the main treatment for bone cancer. Other treatments may include amputation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Because bone cancer can come back after treatment, regular follow-up visits are important.
