Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Type 1 Excludes
- carcinoma in situ of skin of breast D04.5
- melanoma in situ of breast skin D03.5
- Paget's disease of breast or nipple C50
Type 2 Excludes
- malignant neoplasm of breast C50
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in breast tissue. It happens when cells in the breast change and grow out of control. 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.
