About ICD-9-CM 197.8
197.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for secondary malignant neoplasm of other digestive organs and spleen. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as C78.7 (Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver and intrahepatic bile duct) and C78.89 (Secondary malignant neoplasm of other digestive organs). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
