ICD-10-CM D48.7
D48.7 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified sites. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 826 through 830, 843 through 845. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Neoplasms of unspecified nature or uncertain behavior.

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D48.7: its own notes plus those printed at D48, block D37-D48, and Chapter 2. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Applicable To
Conditions this code is used for: synonyms of the title or, for "other specified" codes, the conditions assigned to it. The list is not exhaustive.
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of eye
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of heart
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of peripheral nerves of orbit
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
On D48.7 itself
- neurofibromatosis (nonmalignant) (Q85.0-)
From Block D37-D48 Neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes applies to 137 codes
- neoplasms of unspecified behavior (D49.-)
Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
From Block D37-D48 Neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes applies to 137 codes
- Functional activity
- All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
- Morphology [Histology]
- Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
- Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
- A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
- Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
- Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).

Questions About D48.7Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified sites?
The ICD-10-CM code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified sites is D48.7 (sometimes written as D487). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is D48.7 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified sites on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does D48.7 group to?
When neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified sites is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 844, 827, 829, 843, 828, 826, 830, 845, with relative weights from 0.8443 to 4.7560 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can D48.7 be reported with a code from D48.1?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on D48.7 lists "neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connective tissue (D48.1-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of D48.7?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified sites converts to ICD-9-CM 238.8 (uncert behavior neo NEC). The mapping is a direct match.
