    ICD-10-CM Code For Malignant Neoplasm Of Penis: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group C60 includes malignant neoplasms of the penis, covering primary cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma affecting the penile skin, glans, prepuce, and other penile substructures. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios including localized tumors, tumors with invasion of adjacent structures, and tumors with regional lymph node involvement that capture disease severity and anatomic extent. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM C60 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM C60: Malignant Neoplasm Of Penis Overview

    The malignant neoplasm of penis group includes primary cancers originating in penile tissues, most commonly squamous cell carcinomas, affecting penile skin, glans, and foreskin. These diagnoses target the male genital organ system and may involve local invasion or regional lymph nodes. Accurate coding matters for correct clinical documentation and reimbursement because it reflects disease extent and supports claim adjudication.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A middle-aged man presents to urology clinic with a progressively enlarging, ulcerated lesion on the glans penis accompanied by bleeding and foul-smelling discharge. Physical exam shows an exophytic mass with induration at the glans and palpable inguinal lymphadenopathy; biopsy confirms invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the glans. A malignant neoplasm code from this group is assigned to capture the primary penile malignancy at the glans. Typical codes: C60.0, C60.8
    • An elderly man with a history of treated penile cancer several years ago returns with non-healing lesion at the prepuce and progressive phimosis causing urinary difficulty; biopsy of the preputial lesion demonstrates recurrent or new primary malignancy of the prepuce. The patient is referred for staging and management of a malignancy located on the prepuce/foreskin, necessitating assignment of a code for malignant neoplasm of the prepuce. Typical codes: C60.1, C60.8
    • A patient presents to the emergency department with a rapidly enlarging fungating mass at the shaft of the penis, severe pain, and cellulitis of surrounding tissues; imaging and biopsy confirm invasive penile carcinoma with overlying skin breakdown and secondary infection. The acute presentation with infection and local tissue compromise prompts coding for the primary malignant neoplasm of the penile shaft while documenting the associated complications in additional codes as appropriate. Typical codes: C60.2, C60.8
