C34.10 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, unspecified bronchus or lung. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code C341 is used to code Pancoast tumor

A Pancoast tumor, also called a pulmonary sulcus tumor or superior sulcus tumor, is a tumor of the pulmonary apex. It is a type of lung cancer defined primarily by its location situated at the top end of either the right or left lung. It typically spreads to nearby tissues such as the ribs and vertebrae. Most Pancoast tumors are non-small cell cancers.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, bronchus or lung (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C34.10 and a single ICD9 code, 162.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
