ICD-10 Code C60.2 – Malignant neoplasm of body of penis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C60.2 – Malignant neoplasm of body of penis
What it is
This code identifies a malignant tumor arising in the shaft, or body, of the penis. Use it when documentation specifically states cancer of the penile body.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, penile cancer may present with a visible lesion, ulcer, mass, or persistent skin change on the penile shaft.
When to use this code
Use C60.2 when the provider documents malignant neoplasm of the body of the penis, including confirmed primary cancer in that anatomic site. Code it from pathology, operative, or oncology notes when the site is clearly stated.
Do not infer the body location from a general “penile cancer” diagnosis unless the record supports it. Check documentation if the lesion site is described only as glans, foreskin, or unspecified penis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for benign penile lesions, carcinoma in situ, or cancer limited to another penile site. Check documentation when the anatomic subsite is unclear.
Coding tip
Always match the code to the exact penile subsite named in the record before assigning C60.2.
