Pulmonary granuloma; ICD-10-CM J84.10 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 196 Interstitial lung disease with mcc; 197 Interstitial lung disease with cc; 198 Interstitial lung disease without cc/mcc; Convert J84.10 to ICD-9-CM. Code History. 2016 (effective 10/1/2015): New code (first year of non-draft ICD-10-CM)
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM J98.4 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J98.4 - other international versions of ICD-10 J98.4 may differ. Applicable To. Calcification of lung. Cystic lung disease (acquired)
The code for carcinoid tumor of the lung, C7A.090, has no specific site or laterality. Coding example: A patient with cancer in the lower lobe of his left lung presents for lobectomy. Proper coding is: C34.32 Malignant neoplasm of lower lobe, left bronchus or lung. John Verhovshek, MA, CPC, is a contributing editor at AAPC.
A calcified granuloma is a specific type of tissue inflammation that has become calcified over time. When something is referred to as “calcified,” it means that it contains deposits of the element calcium. Calcium has a tendency to collect in tissue that is healing.
The accurate leading code for granuloma of lung is J84. 10.
701.5 - Other abnormal granulation tissue. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10-CM Code for Calcification and ossification of muscle, unspecified M61. 9.
Mayo Clinic defines Pulmonary Fibrosis as lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. If the scarring is an imaging finding then that will be integral to the actual condition of fibrosis, so only code J84. 10 will be needed.
A granuloma is a small area of inflammation. Granulomas are often found incidentally on an X-ray or other imaging test done for a different reason. Typically, granulomas are noncancerous (benign). Granulomas frequently occur in the lungs, but can occur in other parts of the body and head as well.

Vascular calcifications are mineral deposits on the walls of your arteries and veins. These mineral deposits sometimes stick to fatty deposits, or plaques, that are already built up on the walls of a blood vessel. Vascular calcifications are common but potentially serious.
Calcification and ossification of muscle, unspecified M61. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M61. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
(KAL-sih-NOH-sis) A condition in which abnormal amounts of calcium salts are found in soft tissue, such as muscle.
A calcified granuloma is a specific type of tissue inflammation that has become calcified over time. When something is referred to as “calcified,” it means that it contains deposits of the element calcium. Calcium has a tendency to collect in tissue that is healing.
ICD-10 code R91. 1 for Solitary pulmonary nodule is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
This condition causes inflammation in your lungs and other parts of your body. It's a blood vessel disorder that slows down the flow of blood to your organs. Once this happens, the tissues around that area swell up and form granulomas.
Overview. A calcified granuloma is a specific type of tissue inflammation that has become calcified over time. When something is referred to as “calcified,” it means that it contains deposits of the element calcium. Calcium has a tendency to collect in tissue that is healing. The formation of granulomas is often caused by an infection.
The most common infectious causes of liver granulomas are bacterial infection with TB and the parasitic infection schistosomiasis. Additionally, sarcoidosis is the most common noninfectious cause of liver granulomas.
Noninfectious causes of granulomas such as sarcoidosis are treated with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs in order to control inflammation.
However, if you have an active infection or condition that’s causing granuloma formation, your doctor will work to treat that. If you have an active bacterial or fungal infection, your doctor will prescribe an appropriate antibiotic or antifungal.
The process of granuloma formation can in turn lead to fibrosis of the liver. This is when excess connective tissue accumulates into scar tissue in the liver. This can disrupt liver structure and function.
Granulomas can also be caused by other immune system or inflammatory conditions. They’re most commonly found in the lungs. But they can also be found in other organs of the body, such as the liver or spleen.
If you’re diagnosed with a calcified granuloma, the granuloma itself will likely not require treatment. If you have an underlying condition or infection that’s leading to granuloma formation, your doctor will work to treat that. The individual outlook is dependent on the condition being treated.
