As of October 2023, specific codes for desmoid tumors will be included in the ICD-10-CM, the United States' diagnosis code system, after a request from the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation. [51] A subcategory of D48.1, Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connective and other soft tissue, has been created with more specific codes: [50]
236 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of genitourinary organs; 237 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of endocrine glands and nervous system. 237.0 Pituitary gland and craniopharyngeal duct. Pituitary adenoma; 237.7 Neurofibromatosis; 238 Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other and unspecified sites and tissues 238.4 Polycythemia vera
It is standardized with the C section of ICD-10. There were no changes in the topography axis between ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3. See List of ICD-10 codes#(C00–C97) Malignant Neoplasms for examples.

It usually presents as a painless neck mass, but larger tumors may cause cranial nerve palsies, usually of the vagus nerve and hypoglossal nerve. Glomus tympanicum and Glomus jugulare , also known as jugulotympanic paraganglioma : Both commonly present as a middle ear mass resulting in tinnitus (in 80%) and hearing loss (in 60%).
Neuroendocrine carcinomas are poorly differentiated high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms and a designation of tumor grade is therefore redundant. [7] Lung and thymic neuroendocrine neoplasms are classified in a similar manner, including typical and atypical carcinoids, small cell and large cell neuroendocrine carincomas. [7]
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes D10-D36 within Chapter II: Neoplasms should be included in this category. Subcategories This category has only the following subcategory.
A neck mass or neck lump is an ambiguous mass found in the neck area. There are many different possible causes, [ 1 ] including head and neck cancer [ 2 ] and congenital conditions like branchial anomalies and thyroglossal duct cysts .
