2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D3ABenign neuroendocrine tumors
D3A is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for benign neuroendocrine tumors, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as D3A.00, D3A.010, D3A.011, and D3A.012.

Specific Coding for Benign neuroendocrine tumorsOverview
Non-specific codes like D3A require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:
D3A.0 for Benign carcinoid tumors
Use D3A.00 for Benign carcinoid tumor of unspecified site
D3A.01 for Benign carcinoid tumors of the small intestine
D3A.02 for Benign carcinoid tumors of the appendix, large intestine, and rectum
D3A.09 for Benign carcinoid tumors of other sites
Use D3A.8 for Other benign neuroendocrine tumors
Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Code Also
- any associated multiple endocrine neoplasia MEN syndromes E31.2
Use Additional Code
- code to identify any associated endocrine syndrome, such as:
- carcinoid syndrome E34.00
Type 2 Excludes
- benign pancreatic islet cell tumors D13.7
A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
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.
Patient EducationClinical
Benign Tumors
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.
