D11

Benign neoplasm of major salivary glands

Hierarchy

  • C00-D49 Neoplasms (C00-D49)
    • D10-D36 Benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors (D10-D36)
      • D11 Benign neoplasm of major salivary glands
        • D11.0 Benign neoplasm of parotid gland
        • D11.7 Benign neoplasm of other major salivary glands
        • D11.9 Benign neoplasm of major salivary gland, unspecified

Notes

C00-D49

  • Functional activity
  • All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
  • Morphology [Histology]
  • Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
  • Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
  • A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
  • Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
  • Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).
    • C25.9 Malignant neoplasm of pancreas, unspecified

Excludes 1

D11

  • benign neoplasms of specified minor salivary glands which are classified according to their anatomical location
  • benign neoplasms of minor salivary glands NOS (D10.39)
    • D10.39 Benign neoplasm of other parts of mouth
