What has happened to this code

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from D48 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other and unspecified sites

Excludes1 - never coded here

• neurofibromatosis (nonmalignant) (Q85.0-)

Inherited from the D37-D48 section Neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes (D37-D48)

Excludes1 - never coded here

• neoplasms of unspecified behavior (D49.-)

Note

• Categories D37-D44, and D48 classify by site neoplasms of uncertain behavior, i.e., histologic confirmation whether the neoplasm is malignant or benign cannot be made.
