ICD-10 Code C60.8 – Malignant neoplasm of overlapping sites of penis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C60.8 – Malignant neoplasm of overlapping sites of penis
What it is
C60.8 identifies a malignant tumor of the penis that involves overlapping anatomic sites, meaning the cancer cannot be assigned to one single penile subsite. Use this code when the documentation clearly describes overlap across adjacent areas.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a penile mass, ulcer, plaque, bleeding, discharge, or persistent lesion. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and pathology or imaging when available.
When to use this code
Use C60.8 when the provider documents a malignant neoplasm of overlapping penile sites, such as disease spanning more than one contiguous penile region. It is appropriate when the record does not support a more specific subsite code. If the site is later clarified, code the more specific location instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for benign penile lesions, carcinoma in situ, or malignant neoplasms limited to a single, clearly documented penile subsite. Check documentation if the anatomic site is uncertain.
Coding tip
Code the most specific penile site documented; use C60.8 only when overlap is explicitly stated or clearly implied.
