Wiki Poorly differentiated lung carcinoma

[Hernf]

Do I have to use malignant neoplasm? 162.9 Or 209.30?
Thank you

Carcinoma

Ideally, you would have a path report.
But based on just what you have here, use 162.9.
209.30 is a neuroendocrine tumor. Code book does not take you there.

I agree malignant neoplasm of the lung codes to 1629
