ICD-10 Code C25.7 – Malignant neoplasm of other parts of pancreas (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C25.7 – Malignant neoplasm of other parts of pancreas
What it is
This code identifies a malignant tumor arising in a pancreatic site other than the head, body, or tail. Use it when the record specifies another pancreatic location and confirms malignancy.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Pancreatic cancer may present with abdominal or back pain, weight loss, jaundice, or nonspecific digestive complaints, depending on tumor location and extent.
When to use this code
Use C25.7 when the provider documents a primary malignant neoplasm in another specified part of the pancreas, such as the uncinate process or neck, if that site is clearly stated. Choose this code only when the documentation supports a pancreatic primary site and not a metastatic or uncertain origin.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant neoplasms of the pancreatic head, body, or tail, or when the primary site is unspecified. Check documentation if the record describes secondary, metastatic, or uncertain pancreatic involvement.
Coding tip
Verify the exact pancreatic subsite in the pathology, operative, or oncology note before assigning C25.7.
