ICD-10 Code C60.0 – Malignant neoplasm of prepuce (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C60.0 – Malignant neoplasm of prepuce
What it is
C60.0 identifies a malignant tumor arising in the prepuce, or foreskin, of the penis. Use it when the documentation specifies cancer of the prepuce rather than a different penile site.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include a persistent penile lesion, ulceration, bleeding, pain, or a mass on the foreskin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use C60.0 when the provider documents primary cancer of the prepuce, including biopsy-confirmed malignancy. It is also appropriate when the record clearly localizes the tumor to the foreskin. If the site is described more broadly as penis or another penile structure, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for benign lesions, infections, or nonmalignant penile skin disorders. Do not assign it when the cancer site is unspecified or documented in a different penile location.
Coding tip
Verify the anatomic site in the pathology or operative note; site specificity drives correct code selection.
