Is a Spiculated Lung Mass Indicative of Lung Cancer? A spiculated lesion is a lung mass that contains linear strands that extend into the tissue of the lung but not into the pleural margin. It is consistent with a diagnosis of lung cancer, Cancer Network explains.
The nodule is small. A benign lung tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue that serves no purpose and is found not to be cancerous. Benign lung tumors may grow from many different structures in the lung. Determining whether a nodule is a benign tumor or an early stage of cancer is very important.
For example, lung mass and multiple lung nodules are specifically indexed to code R91. 8, Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field.

786.6 - Swelling, mass, or lump in chest is a topic covered in the ICD-10-CM.
162.9, Bronchus and lung, unspecified. Carcinoma in situ of the lung is classified to code 231.2. Nonmalignant neoplasms of the lung are classified to code 212.3 for benign, 235.7 for uncertain behavior, and 239.1 for unspecified nature.
Hilar Enlargement/Hilar Masses The hilar region of the lung may be affected by tumors (including both primary tumors and metastatic tumors), enlargement of hilar lymph nodes, or abnormalities of the pulmonary arteries or veins.
ICD-10 code R91. 8 for Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
R22 Localized swelling, mass and lump of skin and subcutaneous tissue.
2 Localized swelling, mass and lump, trunk.
Primary malignant tumors of the sternum generally fall into two categories: solid tumors, which include primary bony or cartilaginous tumors and soft tissue sarcomas, and small cell tumors, which are usually systemic but may present as a localized sternal mass.
A new code was developed for lung cancer screening to replace G0297. The existing codes for CT of the thorax (71250-71270) have been revised as “diagnostic” and should not be used for lung cancer screening.
For Lung-RADS categories 1 and 2 with recommendations at a 12-month cycle, are considered an annual screening exam and reported with CPT code 71271. For Lung-RADS categories 3 and 4 with recommendations at 3-6 month follow up, CPT code 71250 non-contrast chest CT (diagnostic) is reported.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
In radiology, a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) or coin lesion is a mass in the lung smaller than 3 centimeters in diameter. It can be an incidental finding found in up to 0.2% of chest X-rays and around 1% of CT scans.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 518.89 was previously used, J98.4 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
