D09.19 (Carcinoma in situ of other urinary organs) compared with D41.3 (Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of urethra), from the official CMS tabular data. D09.19 and D41.3 name the same anatomical site (bulbourethral gland) with a different neoplasm behavior. MedCoder-derived
Same anatomical site, different neoplasm behavior.
Same site — uncertain behavior (bulbourethral gland)
The behavior documented for the site — malignant primary, secondary, carcinoma in situ, benign, uncertain or unspecified — decides which column of the neoplasm table, and therefore which code, applies.
