ICD-10 Code C62.11 – Malignant neoplasm of descended right testis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C62.11 – Malignant neoplasm of descended right testis
What it is
This code identifies a malignant tumor in the right testis when the testis is descended. Use it for a confirmed cancer diagnosis limited to the right side.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, records note a testicular mass, enlargement, firmness, or pain, but diagnosis should be supported by imaging, pathology, or specialist assessment.
When to use this code
Use C62.11 when the provider documents malignant neoplasm of the descended right testis specifically. It applies when the right testis is present in the scrotum and the cancer is not described as undescended or unspecified. If laterality or descent status is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left, bilateral, or unspecified testicular malignancy. Also avoid it when the testis is undescended or when the record only mentions a testicular mass without confirmed malignancy.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and descent status in the operative note, pathology report, or oncology documentation before assigning C62.11.
