About C90.1

C90.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for plasma cell leukemia. It belongs to category C90 (multiple myeloma and malignant plasma cell neoplasms), block C81-C96 (malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within C90 (multiple myeloma and malignant plasma cell neoplasms), C90.1 is specifically for plasma cell leukemia. Related codes cover multiple myeloma (C90.0), Extramedullary plasmacytoma (C90.2) and Solitary plasmacytoma (C90.3).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C90.10 (not having achieved remission), C90.11 (in remission) and C90.12 (in relapse).

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