ICD-10-PCS Code For Lymphatics Pelvic: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group C75D includes procedures performed to introduce radioactive materials and detect emissions from pelvic lymphatic structures. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a nonimaging nuclear medicine probe is used to study the distribution or fate of radiotracers in the pelvic lymphatics. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS C75D group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lymphatics, Pelvic Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve the introduction of radioactive materials and use of a nonimaging nuclear medicine probe to assess pelvic lymphatic structures within the lymphatic and hematologic system. These procedures measure distribution or detect emissions from radiotracers to evaluate lymphatic drainage, sentinel nodes, or related pelvic lymphatic anatomy. Accurate coding of these procedures captures the specific operation and body part, which supports appropriate inpatient case mix assignment and reimbursement.

5	Operation	Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe
D	Body Part	Lymphatics, Pelvic

When to Use

Use a code from this group when radioactive material is introduced and a nonimaging nuclear medicine probe is employed to detect emissions from pelvic lymphatic structures during an inpatient encounter. These codes are appropriate when the purpose of the procedure is to evaluate tracer distribution, lymphatic drainage, or locate sentinel lymph nodes in the pelvic lymphatics.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
C75D1ZZ	Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe of Pelvic Lymphatics using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m)
C75DYZZ	Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe of Pelvic Lymphatics using Other Radionuclide

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old woman admitted for staging of newly diagnosed high-grade endometrial carcinoma. During the inpatient preoperative workup, a radiotracer (Technetium-99m) is injected to perform pelvic sentinel lymph node mapping using a handheld nonimaging nuclear medicine probe to localize sentinel pelvic lymphatics for planned surgical sampling. The procedure guides intraoperative identification of sentinel nodes to determine extent of nodal involvement. Typical codes: C75D1ZZ
A 48-year-old man with recurrent cervical cancer presents urgently with a pelvic mass suspicious for nodal recurrence requiring prompt assessment of nodal drainage. Inpatient mapping is performed with a nonimaging probe after introduction of an alternative radionuclide (not Tc-99m) because of prior allergy concerns, to localize pelvic lymphatic channels and target nodes for biopsy during the same admission. The mapping assists in directing biopsy or limited excision of suspect pelvic nodes. Typical codes: C75DYZZ
A 70-year-old patient with melanoma of the lower extremity is admitted for re-exploration after prior incomplete sentinel node sampling. Repeat intraoperative localization of pelvic draining lymphatics is required to ensure no missed sentinel nodes; a nonimaging nuclear medicine probe is used after injection of Technetium-99m to re-map pelvic lymphatic drainage during the revision procedure. The repeat mapping informs further targeted node removal during the same inpatient stay. Typical codes: C75D1ZZ
