What lipoma ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you're looking for lipoma ICD codes, there are several to pick from. We selected seven examples to give you an idea of what to expect when searching for such codes.
They're meant to be used on patients confirmed to have benign lipomatous neoplasm of [the] skin and subcutaneous tissue, or lipoma for short.
The basic ICD-10 code for this is D17.30 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of unspecified sites.
It comes with an unspecified label, which means the specific site of the lipoma isn't known or identified yet. Once you've confirmed the specific location, you need to use a more specific ICD-10 code. Here are the following you can use:
- D17.0 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of head, face and neck
- D17.1 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk
- D17.21 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of right arm
- D17.22 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of left arm
- D17.23 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of right leg
- D17.24 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of left leg
- D17.39 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other sites
The names of these ICD-10 codes are straightforward. If the location of the lipoma doesn't have a specific ICD-10 code, please use D17.39 since it's meant for lipoma in sites that don't have specific ICD-10 codes.
