D02.3 vs D04.3

D02.3 (Carcinoma in situ of other parts of respiratory system) compared with D04.3 (Carcinoma in situ of skin of other and unspecified parts of face), 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. D02.3 carries an Excludes1 note covering D04.3: “carcinoma in situ of skin of nose (D04.3)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
