Why ICD-10 codes are important
Enlarged lymph nodes, unspecified R59. 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 R59. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 Code for Localized enlarged lymph nodes- R59.
Lymph nodes help your body recognize and fight germs, infections, and other foreign substances. The term "swollen glands" refers to enlargement of one or more lymph nodes. The medical name for swollen lymph nodes is lymphadenopathy.
C77. 3 - Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of axilla and upper limb lymph nodes | ICD-10-CM.
If swollen lymph nodes are only found in one area of your body, it's called localized swollen lymph nodes. And most of the time, you have a virus so there's no treatment truly needed and it will just run its course. The nodes will gradually shrink back to their normal size.
Normal lymph nodes are usually less than 1 cm in diameter and tend to be larger in adolescence than later in life. A clinically useful approach is to classify lymphadenopathy as localized when it involves only one region, such as the neck or axilla, and generalized when it involves more than one region [1].
General swelling of lymph nodes throughout your body. When this occurs, it may indicate an infection, such as HIV or mononucleosis, or an immune system disorder, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Hard, fixed, rapidly growing nodes, indicating a possible cancer or lymphoma.
Lymphadenopathy refers to any disease process involving lymph nodes that are abnormal in size and consistency. Lymphadenitis specifically refers to lymphadenopathies that are caused by inflammatory processes.
Adenopathy is a word used for swelling of the glands, which release chemicals like sweat, tears, and hormones. Adenopathy typically refers to swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy). Lymph nodes aren't technically glands, because they don't produce and release chemicals.

Lymphatic system and axillary nodes Lymph nodes are small clumps of immune cells that act as filters for the lymphatic system. They also store white blood cells that help fight illness. The lymph nodes in the underarm are called axillary lymph nodes. If breast cancer spreads, this is the first place it's likely to go.
Cervical lymphadenopathy is abnormal enlargement of lymph nodes (LNs) in the head and neck usually >1 cm. Most cases are benign and self-limited, however, the differential diagnosis is broad.
Depending on whether the condition is acute or chronic, symptoms of sialoadenitis will vary, and include: Abnormal or foul taste in the mouth. Dry mouth. Fever. Mouth or facial pain, especially when eating. Enlargement, firmness, and tenderness of the gland. Code selection for sialoadenitis is straightforward:
Acute recurrent sialoadenitis is relatively uncommon, developing as a result of low-grade bacterial infection. It usually affects the parotid glands, and is characterized by recurrent, painful and swollen glands. Intractable cases may require superficial parotidectomy. Chronic sialoadenitis is often associated with a previous occurrence ...
