Other specified type of carcinoma in situ of unspecified breast
ICD-10 D05.80 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified type of carcinoma in situ of unspecified breast.
Carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the breast refers to a group of abnormal cells that are found in the lining of the breast ducts or lobules but have not invaded surrounding breast tissue. The term 'other specified type' indicates that the carcinoma does not fit into the more commonly classified types such as ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ. This condition is often detected through mammography or breast biopsy and is considered a non-invasive form of breast cancer. While CIS is not life-threatening, it is a significant risk factor for developing invasive breast cancer in the future. Surveillance protocols typically include regular mammograms and clinical breast exams, with some patients requiring additional imaging or biopsies based on their risk factors. The progression risk varies, with studies indicating that women with CIS have a 20-30% chance of developing invasive breast cancer within 10 years. Therefore, careful monitoring and management are essential to ensure early detection and treatment of any progression to invasive disease.
Detailed pathology reports, treatment plans, and follow-up care documentation.
Patients diagnosed with CIS undergoing surveillance or treatment.
Ensure accurate coding based on pathology findings and treatment protocols.
Clear imaging reports and findings related to breast examinations.
Mammography findings leading to biopsy for CIS diagnosis.
Radiologists must provide detailed descriptions of imaging findings to support coding.
Used when a biopsy is performed to confirm CIS diagnosis.
Pathology report confirming CIS and operative notes.
Oncologists must ensure accurate coding based on biopsy results.
Carcinoma in situ is a critical marker for breast cancer risk, indicating that while the cancer is non-invasive, it has the potential to progress to invasive cancer if not monitored and managed appropriately.
