Malignant neoplasm of penis (C60)

The ICD-10 code C60 series is specifically used to classify and document malignant tumors (cancers) of the penis, including distinct parts like the prepuce (foreskin), glans, and body of the penis. These codes help precisely identify the exact location and type of penile cancer for diagnosis and treatment purposes.

This section covers various penile cancers with subcodes that indicate the tumor site: C60.0 refers to malignant neoplasm of the prepuce, commonly known as squamous cell carcinoma of the foreskin or primary carcinoma of the penis. C60.1 denotes cancer of the glans penis and includes related names such as carcinoma of the glans or malignant tumor of the corpus spongiosum. C60.2 identifies cancer of the body of the penis, including tumors in the corpus cavernosum and spongiosum. When cancer spans multiple overlapping penile sites, C60.8 is used. If the tumor location on the penis is unspecified or broadly described, C60.9 applies, covering terms like penile melanoma, adenocarcinoma, or Buschke-Löwenstein tumor. These specific codes ensure detailed and accurate medical records for malignancies of the male reproductive system, critical for proper patient management and insurance billing.
