D37.031Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of the sublingual salivary glands

D37.031 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of the sublingual salivary glands. It belongs to category D37 (neoplasm of uncertain behavior of oral cavity and digestive organs), block D37-D48 (neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes) 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 D37.03 (neoplasm of uncertain behavior of the major salivary glands), D37.031 is specifically for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of the sublingual salivary glands. Related codes cover parotid salivary glands (D37.030), submandibular salivary glands (D37.032) and unspecified (D37.039).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

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 146 (Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Malignancy with MCC, relative weight 2.1329), DRG 147 (Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Malignancy with CC, relative weight 1.3055) and DRG 148 (Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8008), in Pre-MDC and MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), 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 235.0 (neoplasm of uncertain behavior of major salivary glands).
