Wow. That is a hard one. DCIS. I personally would still use the breast cancer hx codes but the only other thing I could find would maybe be V10.90.
carcinoma in situ
Carcinoma in situ is a form of malignancy that hasn't yet spread beyond a few cells soI would have used the history of breast CA, but you pointed out that is limited to codes from 174-175. If you look up disorder, breast specified it sends you to 611.89 which is in the genitourinary section, so you would be able to argue using V10.44.

Yes we always used the V10.x code for history of breast ca at the cancer center.
