L02.212 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cutaneous abscess of back [any part, except buttock]. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle.
L02. 91 - Cutaneous abscess, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
10061 Incision and drainage of abscess; complicated or multiple.
M60. 08 is the appropriate code for abscess muscle.
L02. 31 - Cutaneous abscess of buttock | ICD-10-CM.
L02. 91 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 L02.
For incision and drainage of a complex wound infection, use CPT 10180. You can remove the sutures/ staples from the wound or make an additional incision to work through. The wound is drained and any necrotic tissue is excised. The wound can be packed open for continuous drainage or closed with a latex drain.
Paraspinal abscess is a collection of pus located around the spinal cord. This is usually seen as a complication of vertebral osteomyelitis and discitis (diskitis) but may be related to hematogenous seeding during bloodstream infection.
Spinal cord abscess is the swelling and irritation (inflammation) and the collection of infected material (pus) and germs in or around the spinal cord.
Prevertebral abscess is one of the uncommon deep neck space infection, occupies the prevertebral space between the vertebrae bodies and prevertebral fascia, and extends from the base of the skull to the coccyx, thus allowing organisms to spread down as far as the psoas muscle sheath [1, 2].
An intramuscular gluteal abscess is an intramuscular soft tissue lesion of the gluteal region characterized by inflammation and the collection of pus, often at the site of intramuscular injections or adjacent to subcutaneous infection sites such as epidural abscess or psoas abscess.
The gluteal region is located posterior to the pelvic girdle and extends distally into the upper leg. The bony structure is composed of the tibia and fibula bones, and the muscles of the leg are grouped into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments by extensions of fascia. Leg: Anatomy as the posterior thigh.
Boils (also referred to as furuncles) are pus-filled lesions that are painful and usually firm. Boils happen when infection around the hair follicles spreads deeper. They are usually located in the waist area, groin, buttocks, and under the arm.
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 L02.212 and a single ICD9 code, 682.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
