Carcinoma in situ of breast (D05)

The ICD-10 code section D05 is used to classify carcinoma in situ of the breast, a non-invasive form of breast cancer confined within the milk ducts or lobules. These codes cover different types including lobular, intraductal, other specified, and unspecified forms, with further subdivision by the affected breast side.

Carcinoma in situ of breast (ICD-10 code D05) distinguishes early breast cancers that have not spread beyond their original tissue. For example, D05.0 refers to lobular carcinoma in situ, which may be identified by terms like "Pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ of breast," with codes specifying whether it affects the right (D05.01), left (D05.02), or unspecified breast (D05.00). Similarly, intraductal carcinoma in situ; also called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS); is coded under D05.1, with subcodes for localization (D05.11 right breast, D05.12 left breast, D05.10 unspecified). Other specified types (D05.8) and unspecified types (D05.9) accommodate less common or unclear forms. These distinctions help healthcare providers and medical coders accurately document the condition’s subtype and location using the ICD-10 code for carcinoma in situ of breast, facilitating precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

Instructional Notations

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

  • carcinoma in situ of skin of breast D04.5
  • melanoma in situ of breast skin D03.5
  • Paget's disease of breast or nipple C50

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.

  • malignant neoplasm of breast C50
