Hello everyone ,
How do you code a carcinoma that was implanted through a donor organ?
Thank you for your help.

Response from Dr. Torres Mexico
Hi Christiane,
I didn't find specific code for this condition.
My opinion is to use a code for carcinoma of the specified site or organ and accompanied by the code for the condition of presence of transplant of that organ.
