| Closed fracture | type of fracture that is contained beneath the skin and has intact ligaments and skin . |
| combination code | single code used to classified two diagnoses (or procedures), a diagnosis with an associated secondary progress (manifestation) , or a diagnosis with an associated complication. |
| compound fracture | (see open fracture) type of fracture that has an associated open wound. |
| contiguous sites | adjacent locations as in cancer of multiple sites that overlap or border each other (e.g., nasopharynx and oropharynx cancer.) |
| fracture | break in bone resulting from injury or a disease process |
| laterality | ICD-10-CM, whether the condition occurs on the left, the right, or is is bilateral; in CPT, whether the procedure is performed bilaterally; in CPT, when laterality is not indicated in the procedure description for paired organs or body parts |
| malignant | cancerous |
| malunion | failure of the ends of a fractured bone to heal (unite). |
| metastatic cancer | (see secondary malignancy) tumor that has metastasized, or spread, to a secondary site either adjacent to the primary site or to a remote region of the body. |
| multiple codes | more than one ICD-10-CM code that is assigned to completely classify the elements of a complex diagnosis (or procedure ) statement. |
| neoplasm | new growth, or tumor, in which cell reproduction is out of control . |
| nonunion | (see malunion) failure of the ends of a fractured bone to heal (unite). |
| open fracture | type of fracture that has an associated open wound. |
| opportunistic infection | one that takes advantages of the body's weakened defenses, such as in an HIV-positive patient. |

| primary malignancy | original tumor site. |
| residual effect | condition produced (sequela) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated. |

| type 2 diabetes mellitus | A condition in which the patient's body is unable to properly use insulin produced. |
| uncertain behavior | subsequence morphology or behavior that cannot be predicted based on the submitted specimen; the tissue appears to be in transition , and the pathologist cannot establish a definitive diagnosis. |
| unspecified nature | neoplasm is identified, but the results of pathology examination are not available: thus, there is no indication as to histology or nature of the tumor. |
