Gastritis and gastropathy are conditions that affect the stomach lining, also known as the mucosa. In gastritis, the stomach lining is inflamed. In gastropathy, the stomach lining is damaged, but little or no inflammation is present.
Foveolar hyperplasia is a rare disorder characterized by an overgrowth of mucous cells in the stomach. In children, it may present as a localized lesion that affects the antrum primarily, called focal foveolar hyperplasia (FFH), or as a diffuse lesion, known as Ménétrier disease.
Gastric xanthelasma is a rarely encountered finding in upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. It is characterised by yellowish-white plaque in the stomach especially in the antrum or the pyloric region. Histologically it consists of foamy macrophages in the lamina propria.
Cheilitis is an inflammation of the lips. It may be acute or chronic, involving the vermilion and/or surrounding skin of one or both lips.
Saliva collects at the corners of the mouth and causes dryness. Very dry skin in this area can lead to angular cheilitis. Over time, the dry skin may crack open. Sometimes bacteria or fungi get into the cracks, which can cause inflammation or an infection.
The first symptom of AC is usually dry, cracking lips. You might then develop either a red and swollen or white patch on your lip. This will almost always be on the lower lip. In more advanced AC, the patches might look scaly and feel like sandpaper.
The ICD code K130 is used to code Angular cheilitis. Angular cheilitis (AC), also known as rhagades, perlèche, cheilosis, angular cheilosis, commissural cheilitis, or angular stomatitis, is inflammation of one, or more commonly both, of the corners of the mouth.
Ariboflavinosis - instead, use code E53.0. Cheilitis due to radiation-related disorders - instead, use Section L55-L59. Congenital fistula of lips - instead, use code Q38.0. Congenital hypertrophy of lips - instead, use code Q18.6. Perlèche due to candidiasis - instead, use code B37.83.
Such factors include nutritional deficiencies, overclosure of the mouth, dry mouth, a lip-licking habit, drooling, immunosuppression, and others, such as the wearing of poor fitted dentures.
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.
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code B37.83 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code B37.83 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
