About the C52 Code Range
ICD-10 code C52 is used specifically to identify malignant tumors located in the vagina. This code covers a variety of cancer types that originate in vaginal tissue, helping healthcare providers and coders accurately classify vaginal cancers for diagnosis and treatment planning.
The term malignant neoplasm of vagina encompasses several conditions, including squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina, primary carcinoma of the vagina, and malignant tumors of the vaginal vault or Gartner's duct. It also includes rarer forms such as primary malignant melanoma and vulvovaginal rhabdomyosarcoma. Additionally, this code applies when vaginal cancer directly extends and involves neighboring organs like the rectum, urinary bladder, uterine cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or vulva. Common synonyms like “carcinoma of vagina” or “malignant tumor of vagina” directly relate to the official ICD-10 code C52. Using this code ensures clarity when documenting primary or recurrent vaginal cancers and differentiating them from other female reproductive cancers.
