Maine Subscriber Answer: The ICD-10-CM code for a diagnosis of descending colon polyp will be D12. 4 (Benign neoplasm of descending colon). However, if pathology report for polyp comes as lymphoid aggregate with hyperplastic features, we will mention only code K63.
Lymphoid aggregate/infiltrate: A collection of B cells, T cells, and supporting cells, present within the stroma of various organs. The term can be used to describe endogenous lymphoid tissue or acquired lymphoid tissue.Oct 15, 2020
K63. 89 - Other specified diseases of intestine. ICD-10-CM.
A lymphoid polyp is an often benign, focal proliferation of gut associated lymphoid follicles. Lymphoid polyps are rarely found in adults and are usually found in terminal ileum or rectum. These polyps are usually asymptomatic though possible association with development of malignant lymphoma has been described.
1. Benign Mucosal Colonic Polyps. Polyps are the most common benign lesions of the colon. In addition to malignant tumors, polyps are the main targets of CTC. According to the Paris classification, they are categorized by their morphologic appearance as sessile, pedunculated, or flat [4].Mar 21, 2018
Colonic mucosa is a term used to describe the specialized tissue that covers the inside of the colon. The colon is a long, hollow organ and part of the digestive tract. It starts at the end of the small bowel (the ileum) and ends at the anal canal.
K63. 89 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 K63. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Answer. Lymphoid polyps (present in 15% of patients) are hyperplastic submucosal lymphoid aggregates, most likely due to a nonspecific infection (exposure to bacteria and viruses). Submucosal lymphoid tissue is prominent in children, particularly in the distal ileum (Peyer patches).
Benign lymphoid polyps are uncommon lesions of the small bowel and the colon to a lesser degree that are mostly found in children. There are only few reported cases in adults in which the lesions were predominantly polypoid and described as lymphonodular hyperplasia.Oct 28, 2018
Hyperplastic gastric or stomach polyps appear in the epithelium, the layer of tissue that lines the inside of your stomach. Hyperplastic polyps are usually found during a colonoscopy. They're relatively common and usually benign, meaning they aren't cancerous.
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, ...
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as D12.6. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
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 non-metastasizing neoplasm arising from the wall of the colon and rectum . A non-metastasizing neoplasm arising from the wall of the colon.
Your colon, also known as the large intestine, is part of your digestive system. It's a long, hollow tube at the end of your digestive tract where your body makes and stores stool. Many disorders affect the colon's ability to work properly. Some of these include
Treatment for colonic diseases varies greatly depending on the disease and its severity. Treatment may involve diet, medicines and in some cases, surgery.
Your small intestine is the longest part of your digestive system - about twenty feet long! It connects your stomach to your large intestine (or colon) and folds many times to fit inside your abdomen. Your small intestine does most of the digesting of the foods you eat.

Lymphoid tissue: A general term to describe a collection of B-cells, T-cells, and support cells. Lymphoid tissue is normally concentrated along the mucosal surfaces of the body (tonsils, Peyer patches) and can also be acquired at sites of chronic antigenic stimulation. The primary lymphoid tissues are bone marrow and thymus ...
Background#N#Because the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a site of continuous challenge by foreign antigens, it contains a well-developed immun e system component. The upper aerodigestive tract and small and large intestines have endogenous lymphoid tissue, including the Waldeyer ring in the oropharynx, Peyer patches in the terminal ileum, and mucosal lymphoid aggregates in the appendix. In contrast, the esophagus and stomach are not associated with a significant amount of organized lymphoid tissue under normal conditions but can acquire lymphoid aggregates under constant antigenic stimulation, such as in the setting of gastric Helicobacter pylori infection.
In contrast to mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue which is non-encapsulated, a lymph node is a specialized type of lymphoid tissue that is in continuity with the lymphatic system and enclosed within a fibrous capsule. Other terms used to describe specific types of lymphoid tissue are:
Lymphoid follicle: Similar to a lymphoid aggregate (sometimes used interchangeably) but typically refers to a more discrete collection of B cells, T cells, and supporting cells. There are two types of lymphoid follicle:
There are two types of lymphoid follicle: Primary follicles are lymphoid follicles that do not yet contain a germinal center (described below). They are precursors to secondary follicles and are composed predominantly of small naïve B cells and inconspicuous supporting cells.
Germinal center: The site where antigen-presenting cells interact with naïve B-cells to initiate an antigen-specific immune response.
Reactive lymphoid aggregate: A lymphoid aggregate that demonstrates a germinal center. The presence of a germinal center is typically indicative of a reactive rather than a neoplastic process (but should be taken in the context of the entire case).
