D3A.09Benign carcinoid tumors of other sites

D3A.09 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign carcinoid tumors of other sites. It belongs to category D3A (benign neuroendocrine tumors), block D3A (benign neuroendocrine tumors) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 8 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D3A.0, choose D3A.09 (of other sites) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: tumor of unspecified site (D3A.00), of the small intestine (D3A.01) and of the appendix, large intestine, and rectum (D3A.02).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D3A.090 (lung), D3A.091 (thymus), D3A.092 (stomach), D3A.093 (kidney), D3A.094 (unspecified), D3A.095 (unspecified), D3A.096 (unspecified) and D3A.098 (sites).

Use an additional code to identify any associated endocrine syndrome, such as: carcinoid syndrome (E34.00).

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