D48.61 - Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right breast
ICD-10: | D48.61 |
Short Description: | Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right breast |
Long Description: | Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right breast |
Status: | Valid for Submission |
Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
Code Classification: |
D48.61 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right breast. 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 the parent code D48.6 of the current diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic areola ; Neoplasm, neoplastic breast (connective tissue) (glandular tissue) (soft parts) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic breast (connective tissue) (glandular tissue) (soft parts) areola ; Neoplasm, neoplastic breast (connective tissue) (glandular tissue) (soft parts) axillary tail ; Neoplasm, neoplastic breast (connective tissue) (glandular tissue) (soft parts) central portion ; Neoplasm, neoplastic breast (connective tissue) (glandular tissue) (soft parts) inner ; Neoplasm, neoplastic breast (connective tissue) (glandular tissue) (soft parts) lower ; etc
Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Borderline phyllodes neoplasm of right breast
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right breast
- Phyllodes tumor of breast
- Phyllodes tumor of breast, borderline

Table of Neoplasms
The parent code D48.6 of the current diagnosis 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
Breast Diseases
Most women experience breast changes at some time. Your age, hormone levels, and medicines you take may cause lumps, bumps, and discharges (fluids that are not breast milk).
If you have a breast lump, pain, discharge or skin irritation, see your health care provider. Minor and serious breast problems have similar symptoms. Although many women fear cancer, most breast problems are not cancer.
Some common breast changes are:
- Fibrocystic breast changes - lumpiness, thickening and swelling, often just before a woman's period
- Cysts - fluid-filled lumps
- Fibroadenomas - solid, round, rubbery lumps that move easily when pushed, occurring most in younger women
- Intraductal papillomas - growths similar to warts near the nipple
- Blocked milk ducts
- Milk production when a woman is not breastfeeding
