What pancreatic mass ICD codes can I use?

If you’re looking for pancreatic mass ICD codes, we’d like you to know that there’s quite a bunch to pick from, so we’ve decided on six examples to show you how specific these codes can get. Also, you won’t find ICD codes with pancreatic mass in their name. They will either mention benign neoplasm of the pancreas or malignant neoplasm of the pancreas.

Here they are:

  1. D13.6 - Benign neoplasm of pancreas: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient with a benign neoplasm of the pancreas. This means that the pancreatic mass isn’t cancerous.
  2. D13.7 - Benign neoplasm of endocrine pancreas: This ICD-10 code is intended to be used on a patient confirmed to have a benign neoplasm of the endocrine pancreas, which is the pancreas that makes the hormone insulin.
  3. C25.9 - Malignant neoplasm of pancreas, unspecified: This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. This means that the pancreatic mass is cancerous. What is unspecified is the specific part of the pancreas that has the mass.
  4. C25.0 - Malignant neoplasm of head of pancreas: This is the same as Item 3, but the location is specified: the head of the pancreas.
  5. C25.1 - Malignant neoplasm of body of pancreas: This is the same as Item 3, but the location is specified: the body of the pancreas.
  6. C25.2 - Malignant neoplasm of tail of pancreas: This is the same as Item 3, but the location is specified: the tail of the pancreas.

Are these pancreatic mass ICD codes billable?

Yes.

Clinical information about pancreatic masses:

Pancreatic masses are solid masses that form in the pancreas. They can either be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). They can be solid tumors, cystic lesions, abscesses, and even scar tissue (which can be mistaken for a tumor). As to how they form, well, it’s important to note that they may form without a definite reason (like tumors), but research suggests that it can be affected by environment and genetics.

They can also form because of certain conditions. In the case of pancreatic masses, they can form due to the following: pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, bacterial infections, and metastatic diseases. 

Synonyms include:

  • Benign cystic tumor of exocrine pancreas
  • Benign neoplasm of body of pancreas
  • Benign neoplasm of head of pancreas
  • Benign neoplasm of pancreas
  • Benign neoplasm of pancreas, excluding islets of Langerhans
  • Benign neoplasm of pancreatic duct
  • Benign neoplasm of tail of pancreas
