About C41.1

C41.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for malignant neoplasm of mandible. It belongs to category C41 (malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage of other and unspecified sites), block C40-C41 (malignant neoplasms of bone and articular cartilage) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within C41 (malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage of other and unspecified sites), C41.1 is specifically for malignant neoplasm of mandible. Related codes cover bones of skull and face (C41.0), vertebral column (C41.2), ribs, sternum and clavicle (C41.3), pelvic bones, sacrum and coccyx (C41.4) and bone and articular cartilage, unspecified (C41.9).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of C41.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: carcinoma, any type except intraosseous or odontogenic of:, jaw NOS (C03.9), lower (C03.1) and malignant neoplasm of upper jaw bone (C41.0).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC, relative weight 5.6154), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC, relative weight 4.381), DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC, relative weight 2.7307), DRG 542 (Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy with MCC, relative weight 1.7211), DRG 543 (Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy with CC, relative weight 1.006) and DRG 544 (Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7406), in Pre-MDC and MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 170.1 (malignant neoplasm of mandible).
