Malignant neoplasms of male genital organs (C60-C63)

ICD-10 codes C60-C63 categorize malignant tumors affecting male genital organs, including the penis, prostate, testis, epididymis, spermatic cord, and scrotum. These codes are used to specify the exact site and nature of primary cancers in these organs.

This range covers cancers of the penis, subdivided by parts such as the prepuce (foreskin), glans, and body, with codes like C60.0 for malignant neoplasm of the prepuce, often known as squamous cell carcinoma or primary carcinoma of the foreskin. Prostate cancer, including various types like adenocarcinoma and hormone refractory forms, is classified under C61. Testicular cancers are extensively detailed with codes distinguishing whether the testis is descended or undescended, for example, C62.0 for undescended testis malignancies, encompassing seminomas and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors. Malignant neoplasms of other male genital organs such as the epididymis (C63.0), spermatic cord (C63.1), and scrotum (C63.2) are also included. Codes for overlapping or unspecified sites in male genital organs help capture cases where the precise location or laterality is not determined. This detailed coding structure assists healthcare professionals and coders in accurately identifying and reporting specific male genital cancers for treatment planning and statistical purposes.
