Other benign neoplasm of skin, unspecified D23. 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 D23. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Melanocytic nevi, unspecifiedICD-10 code D22. 9 for Melanocytic nevi, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Neoplasms .
Melanocytic nevi are benign neoplasms or hamartomas composed of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells that constitutively colonize the epidermis.

Moles (nevi) are a common type of skin growth. They often appear as small, dark brown spots and are caused by clusters of pigment-forming cells (melanocytes). Most people have 10 to 40 moles that appear during childhood and adolescence and may change in appearance or fade over time.
1.
The lay term for a melanocytic naevus is a “mole”. The word 'melanocytic' means that they are made up of the cells (melanocytes) which produce the dark pigment (melanin) that gives the skin its colour. Melanocytes clustered together form naevi. In other words, moles are benign (harmless) groups of melanocytes.
Melanocytes: These are the cells that can become melanoma. They normally make a brown pigment called melanin, which gives the skin its tan or brown color.
They typically appear as small brown, tan, or pink spots. You can be born with moles or develop them later. Moles that you're born with are known as congenital moles. However, most moles develop during childhood and adolescence.
to the editor: In the article on newborn skin, the authors recommend removal of large and giant congenital melanocytic nevi as the current management strategy. In fact, complete nevus removal is impossible for many large nevi and virtually all giant nevi.
Congenital melanocytic nevi are caused by a change in color (pigment) cells of the skin. The moles happen by chance. CMN is not passed down from the parents. There is no way to prevent your child from being born with moles.
A dysplastic nevus may develop into melanoma (a type of skin cancer), and the more dysplastic nevi a person has, the higher the risk of melanoma. A dysplastic nevus is sometimes called an atypical mole.
(NEE-vus) A benign (not cancer) growth on the skin that is formed by a cluster of melanocytes (cells that make a substance called melanin, which gives color to skin and eyes). A nevus is usually dark and may be raised from the skin. Also called mole.
Most complete moles (>90%) have a 46,xx karyotype and the rest 46,xy karyotype. Trophoblastic hyperplasia associated with normal gestation, or molar pregnancy. It is characterized by the swelling of the chorionic villi and elevated human chorionic gonadotropin.
Complete moles are usually diploid and typically present between the eleventh and twenty-fifth week of pregnancy, whereas partial moles are usually triploid and usually present around the nineteenth week of pregnancy. The incidence of choriocarcinoma is higher in patients with complete hydatidiform mole.
According to the amount of villous involvement, a hydatidiform mole is defined as complete or partial.
It may also become a malignant tumor called choriocarcinoma. Hydatidiform mole is the most common type of gestational trophoblastic tumor.
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.
A mole is a cluster of melanocytes and surrounding supportive tissue that usually appears as a tan, brown, or flesh-colored spot on the skin. The plural of nevus is nevi (nee-vye).
A benign growth on the skin (usually tan, brown, or flesh-colored) that contain s a cluster of melanocytes and surrounding supportive tissue. A neoplasm composed of melanocytes that usually appears as a dark spot on the skin. A nevus characterised by the presence of excessive pigment. A nevus containing melanin.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
O01.9 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Hydatidiform mole, unspecified . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
