D09.3 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of carcinoma in situ of thyroid and other endocrine glands. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic adrenal ; Neoplasm, neoplastic adrenal capsule ; Neoplasm, neoplastic adrenal cortex ; Neoplasm, neoplastic adrenal gland ; Neoplasm, neoplastic adrenal medulla ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cortex ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cortex adrenal ; etc

Approximate Synonyms

The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:

  • Carcinoma in situ of adrenal cortex
  • Carcinoma in situ of adrenal gland
  • Carcinoma in situ of adrenal medulla
  • Carcinoma in situ of craniopharyngeal duct
  • Carcinoma in situ of endocrine gland
  • Carcinoma in situ of multiple endocrine glands
  • Carcinoma in situ of parathyroid gland

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Empty Sella Syndrome

    a condition when the sella turcica is not filled with pituitary tissue. the pituitary gland is either compressed, atrophied, or removed. there are two types: (1) primary empty sella is due a defect in the sella diaphragm leading to arachnoid herniation into the sellar space; (2) secondary empty sella is associated with the removal or treatment of pituitary neoplasms.
  • Sella Turcica

    a bony prominence situated on the upper surface of the body of the sphenoid bone. it houses the pituitary gland.

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 1 Excludes

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 endocrine pancreas D01.7
  • carcinoma in situ of ovary D07.39
  • carcinoma in situ of testis D07.69

Convert D09.3 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 234.8 - Ca in situ NEC
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Table of Neoplasms

This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.

Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Patient Education


Thyroid Cancer

What is thyroid cancer?

Thyroid cancer is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the thyroid. Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. It makes hormones that control the way the body uses energy. These hormones affect nearly every organ in your body and control many of your body's most important functions. For example, they affect your breathing, heart rate, weight, digestion, and moods.

What are the different types of thyroid cancer?

There are different types of thyroid cancer; the main ones include:

  • Differentiated thyroid cancer, which includes papillary cancer and follicular cancer
  • Medullary thyroid cancer
  • Anaplastic thyroid cancer

Who is more likely to develop thyroid cancer?

Certain people are more likely to develop thyroid cancer. Your risk is higher if you:

  • Are between ages 25 and 65
  • Are a woman
  • Are Asian
  • Were exposed to certain types of radiation, including from radiation treatments to your head or neck as a child or from a radiation emergency
  • Have had a goiter (enlarged thyroid)
  • Having certain genetic conditions, including certain types of multiple endocrine neoplasia
  • Have a family history of thyroid cancer or thyroid disease

What are the symptoms of thyroid cancer?

Thyroid cancer may not cause symptoms at first. It is sometimes found during a routine physical exam. You may get signs or symptoms as the cancer gets bigger. The symptoms may include:

  • A lump (nodule) in the neck
  • Trouble breathing
  • Trouble swallowing
  • Pain when swallowing
  • Hoarseness or other changes to your voice that do not get better

How is thyroid cancer diagnosed?

To find out if you have thyroid cancer, your health care provider may use:

  • A physical exam, including checking your neck for swelling, lumps, or anything that seems unusual
  • A medical history
  • Thyroid tests
  • Other blood or imaging tests
  • A biopsy

What are the treatments for thyroid cancer?

Treatment for thyroid cancer depends on the type of cancer you have and whether the cancer has spread. Often, more than one type of treatment may be needed. The treatment options include:

  • Surgery.
  • Radiation therapy, including radioactive iodine therapy.
  • Chemotherapy.
  • Thyroid hormone therapy.
  • Targeted therapy, which uses drugs or other substances that attack specific cancer cells with less harm to normal cells.
  • Watchful waiting, which means that you don't get treatment right away. Your regularly checks to see if your signs or symptoms appear or change.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
