Valid for Submission
D37.05 is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of pharynx. The code is valid for the year 2020 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The ICD-10-CM code D37.05 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like mass of vallecula of epiglottis, neoplasm of adenoid, neoplasm of anterior aspect of epiglottis, neoplasm of anterior wall of nasopharynx, neoplasm of hypopharyngeal aspect of interarytenoid fold, neoplasm of junctional region of epiglottis, etc
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: adenoid (pharynx) (tissue) ; aryepiglottic fold ; aryepiglottic fold hypopharyngeal aspect ; aryepiglottic fold marginal zone ; auditory tube opening ; branchial (cleft) (cyst) (vestiges) ; cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] epiglottis anterior surface ; etc

Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
