ICD-10 Code D07.61 – Carcinoma in situ of scrotum (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D07.61 – Carcinoma in situ of scrotum
What it is
This code identifies carcinoma in situ confined to the scrotal skin. It means abnormal cells are present in the top layer of tissue and have not invaded deeper structures.
Clinical signs
Findings may include a persistent scrotal lesion, plaque, or area of discoloration that prompts biopsy. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for pathology confirmation.
When to use this code
Use D07.61 when the provider documents carcinoma in situ of the scrotum or equivalent pathology wording. It is appropriate when the lesion is noninvasive and specifically located on the scrotum. If the site is unclear or the report says only “skin” or “genital area,” check documentation before assigning.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for invasive scrotal cancer, benign skin lesions, or lesions on nearby genital sites. If the diagnosis is unspecified or the exact anatomic site differs, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both the in situ diagnosis and the scrotal site in the pathology or provider note before coding.
