Hepatic Lesion

Use the Hepatic Lesion ICD-10 code when a patient presents with a liver lesion that has been identified through imaging or clinical evaluation and does not fall under a more specific category. This code is appropriate when documenting liver abnormalities such as nodules, cysts, or tumors that are not clearly benign or malignant.

Yes, the ICD-10 code K76.89 for Hepatic Lesion is billable. It can be used for insurance claims, diagnosis reporting, and clinical documentation when the liver lesion is specified but not otherwise classified.

Treatment depends on the type of lesion—benign lesions may only require monitoring, while malignant lesions often involve surgery, chemotherapy, or liver transplantation. Infections or abscesses are typically treated with antibiotics and drainage, and vascular or cystic lesions may require intervention if symptomatic.
