ICD-10 Code C92.6 – Acute myeloid leukemia with 11q23-abnormality (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C92.6 – Acute myeloid leukemia with 11q23-abnormality
What it is
C92.6 identifies acute myeloid leukemia linked to an 11q23 chromosomal abnormality. Use it when the record clearly documents this genetic subtype of AML.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. AML commonly presents with findings of acute marrow failure, such as anemia, infection risk, or bleeding, along with evidence of the 11q23 abnormality.
When to use this code
Use C92.6 when the provider documents AML and specifies an 11q23 abnormality, including cytogenetic or molecular confirmation. It is appropriate for final diagnoses, problem lists, and encounters focused on this leukemia subtype. Check documentation if the chromosome finding is mentioned without a clear AML diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for AML without documented 11q23 abnormality. Do not assign it for other leukemias, nonspecific abnormal cytogenetic findings, or suspected disease only.
Coding tip
Code the specific leukemia subtype only when the 11q23 abnormality is explicitly documented; otherwise, verify the exact AML classification first.
