What This Code Means

A noncancerous tumor of the peripheral nerves or autonomic nervous system in the trunk area when the specific location cannot be determined.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the tumor is in the trunk but the specific region (thorax, abdomen, or pelvis) is not documented
  • •Assign a more specific D36.14, D36.15, or D36.16 code if the exact trunk location is documented
