Benign neuroendocrine tumors (D3A)

The ICD-10-CM codes beginning with D3A classify benign neuroendocrine tumors, including various types of benign carcinoid tumors and other noncancerous neuroendocrine growths. These codes are used to identify tumors that arise from hormone-producing cells but are non-malignant and can occur in multiple body sites.

This coding range covers benign carcinoid tumors located in different parts of the digestive system such as the small intestine, appendix, large intestine, and rectum, as well as less common sites like the bronchus, lung, thymus, stomach, and kidney. For example, D3A.01 specifies benign carcinoid tumors of the small intestine with further subdivisions for the duodenum (D3A.010), jejunum (D3A.011), and ileum (D3A.012). The codes also distinguish unspecified tumor sites, allowing precise documentation when the tumor location or subtype is unclear. Additionally, D3A.8 includes other benign neuroendocrine tumors with several synonyms like neuroendocrine neoplasm and gastrointestinal hormone-secreting endocrine tumor. This detailed classification aids medical coders in accurately capturing diagnoses of benign neuroendocrine neoplasms, facilitating proper patient management and health record clarity.

Instructional Notations

Code Also

A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.

any associated multiple endocrine neoplasia [MEN] syndromes E31.2

Use Additional Code

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.

code to identify any associated endocrine syndrome, such as:
carcinoid syndrome E34.00

Type 2 Excludes

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.
