Malignant neoplasm of anterior wall of nasopharynx

    2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Billable/Specific Code
  • C11.3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

  • This is the American ICD-10-CM version of C11.3 - other international versions of ICD-10 C11.3 may differ.
Applicable To
  • Malignant neoplasm of floor of nasopharynx
  • Malignant neoplasm of nasopharyngeal (anterior) (posterior) surface of soft palate
  • Malignant neoplasm of posterior margin of nasal choana
  • Malignant neoplasm of posterior margin of nasal septum

    2020 ICD-10-CM Range C00-D49

    Neoplasms

    Note
    • Functional activity
    • All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
    • Morphology [Histology]
    • Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
    • Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
    • A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
    • Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
    • Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).
