An intra-abdominal abscess is a collection of pus or infected fluid that is surrounded by inflamed tissue inside the belly. It can involve any abdominal organ, or it can settle in the folds of the bowel.
L02. 91 - Cutaneous abscess, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
They're most commonly found on the surface of the skin. An abdominal abscess is a pocket of pus located in the abdomen. Abdominal abscesses can form near the inside of the abdominal wall, at the back of the abdomen, or around organs in the abdomen, including the liver, pancreas, and kidneys.
An abscess is a painful collection of pus, usually caused by a bacterial infection. Abscesses can develop anywhere in the body.
Diagnosis can be confirmed by radiologic studies such as ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scan. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is often more reliable, and provides better delineation of anatomic location and size of intra-abdominal abscess.
Key points about an intra-abdominal abscess If left untreated, the bacteria will multiply. They can cause inflammation and kill healthy tissue. If you've recently had surgery or trauma to an abdominal organ and have other risk factors, such as diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease, watch for signs of an abscess.
The abscesses usually contain a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Bacteria in the peritoneal cavity, in particular those arising from the large intestine, stimulate an influx of acute inflammatory cells.
10061 Incision and drainage of abscess; complicated or multiple.
A subcutaneous abscess is a collection of inflammatory cells, usually neutrophils, within the subcutaneous tissue. II. Cellulitis is a diffuse purulent inflammatory reaction within subcutaneous tissues.
ICD-10 code R10. 9 for Unspecified abdominal pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Accumulation of purulent exudates beneath the diaphragm, also known as upper abdominal abscess. It is usually associated with peritonitis or postoperative infections.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K65.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue. Boils which are expanded are basically pus-filled nodules.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code L02.211 and a single ICD9 code, 682.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
K65.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of peritoneal abscess. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, the thin tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdomen and covers most of the abdominal organs. Peritonitis may be localized or generalized, and may result from infection (often due to rupture of a hollow abdominal organ as may occur in abdominal trauma or inflamed appendix) or from a non-infectious process.
