ICD-10 Code C60.1 – Malignant neoplasm of glans penis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C60.1 – Malignant neoplasm of glans penis
What it is
C60.1 identifies a malignant tumor arising in the glans, the rounded head of the penis. Use it when documentation specifies cancer of the glans penis.
Clinical signs
Findings may include a visible lesion, ulceration, bleeding, pain, or a mass on the glans. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use C60.1 when the provider documents primary cancer limited to the glans penis. It also fits pathology or operative reports naming the glans as the site of origin. If the record only says penile cancer without location, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for benign penile lesions or cancers documented in other penile sites. If the neoplasm is not clearly stated as malignant or glans-specific, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the documented anatomic site exactly, and confirm whether the glans is the primary site or part of a more extensive penile malignancy.
