C57.9 vs C68
C57.9 (Malignant neoplasm of female genital organ, unspecified) compared with C68 (Malignant neoplasm of other and unspecified urinary organs), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. C68 carries an Excludes1 note covering C57.9: “malignant neoplasm of female genitourinary tract NOS (C57.9)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
