D48.3 - Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of retroperitoneum
| ICD-10: | D48.3 |
| Short Description: | Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of retroperitoneum |
| Long Description: | Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of retroperitoneum |
| Status: | Valid for Submission |
| Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
| Code Classification: |
D48.3 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of retroperitoneum. 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 connective tissue NEC retroperitoneum ; Neoplasm, neoplastic paranephric ; Neoplasm, neoplastic periadrenal (tissue) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic perinephric ; Neoplasm, neoplastic peripancreatic ; Neoplasm, neoplastic perirenal (tissue) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic retrocecal ; etc
Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:

- Hemangioendothelioma of retroperitoneum
- Neoplasm of periadrenal tissue
- Neoplasm of perirenal tissue
- Neoplasm of retrocecal tissue
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of periadrenal tissue

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
Peritoneal Disorders
Your peritoneum is the tissue that lines your abdominal wall and covers most of the organs in your abdomen. A liquid, peritoneal fluid, lubricates the surface of this tissue.
Disorders of the peritoneum are not common. They include:
- Peritonitis - an inflammation of the peritoneum
- Cancer
- Complications from peritoneal dialysis
Your doctor may use imaging tests or lab tests to analyze the peritoneal fluid to diagnose the problem. Treatment of peritoneal disorders depends on the cause.
