This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.

This is not a standard ICD10 code but a ICD10 CA code. We added it for the following reason: there is no Canadian code for carcinoid tumor and so we used this US code; this is also the reason why this code has a letter in it. See Non-standard ICD10 Diagnoses for other codes like this.

This is for a carcincoid located anywhere; also code Carcinoid syndrome if present

Carcinoid tumors are a type of slow-growing cancer that can arise in several places throughout your body. Carcinoid tumors, which are one subset of tumors called neuroendocrine tumors, usually begin in the digestive tract (stomach, appendix, small intestine, colon, rectum) or in the lungs.
Carcinoid tumors usually grow in your stomach and intestines, but you can also get them in your lungs, pancreas, or rarely, testicles or ovaries. If you have carcinoid syndrome, it usually means that your cancer has spread to another area, most often your lungs or liver.
