About this document
Neoplasm of Uncertain Behavior Explained by Bento Benshoy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides documentation and coding examples for neoplasms of uncertain behavior. It explains that while interim diagnoses describing masses awaiting biopsy results seem clinically accurate, they are not appropriate diagnostic codes. The correct ICD-10 code for a neoplasm of uncertain behavior is D48.9, but it must be based on a pathology or histology report stating the behavior is uncertain, not for an unknown neoplasm pending confirmation. This code is seldom used. Providers are reminded to us
