Alan, a 56-year-old male, came for a follow-up visit to the physician. He has a history of removal of the prostate 3 years ago because of malignancy in the gland. Assign the correct ICD-10 code for this case.
  1. Z85.43
  2. Z85.47
  3. Z85.46
  4. Z85.48
Explanation
Answer: C 

Z85.46 is the correct code here as it is used to code for personal history of malignant neoplasm of the prostate. Here, Alan has a history of prostate cancer which was removed 3 years back. 

Option A is not correct because Z85.43 codes for personal history of malignant neoplasm of the ovary. 

Option B is not correct because Z85.47 codes for personal history of malignant neoplasm of the testis. 

Option D is not correct because Z85.48 is used to specify personal history of malignant neoplasm of the epididymis.
