Short Description: | Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin, subcu of left arm |
Long Description: | Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of left arm |
A benign, usually painless, well-circumscribed lipomatous tumor composed of adipose tissue. Skin biopsy, diagnostic of pss: skin biopsy revealing increased compact collagen in the reticular dermis, thinning of the epidermis, loss of rete pegs, atrophy of dermal appendages, and hyalinization and fibrosis of arterioles.
A benign neoplasm composed of adipose tissue. A benign tumor composed of adipose (fatty) tissue. The most common representative of this category is the lipoma. A benign tumor composed of fat cells (adipocytes). It can be surrounded by a thin layer of connective tissue (encapsulated), or diffuse without the capsule.
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, ...

D17.1 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk. The code D17.1 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code D17.1 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like leptomyelolipoma, lipoma of anterior chest wall, lipoma of back, lipoma of chest wall, lipoma of lateral chest wall , lipoma of lower back, etc.
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code: 1 Leptomyelolipoma 2 Lipoma of anterior chest wall 3 Lipoma of back 4 Lipoma of chest wall 5 Lipoma of lateral chest wall 6 Lipoma of lower back 7 Lipoma of lower back 8 Lipoma of perineum 9 Lipoma of posterior chest wall 10 Lipoma of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk 11 Lipoma of trunk 12 Lowry Yong syndrome
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code D17.1 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.
