A lung mass is an abnormal growth or area in the lungs that is more than 3 centimeters in diameter. Anything smaller than this is classified as a lung nodule. Lung masses can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). In most cases, lung masses are cancerous.
A lung (pulmonary) nodule is an abnormal growth that forms in a lung. You may have one nodule on the lung or several nodules. Nodules may develop in one lung or both. Most lung nodules are benign (not cancerous).
Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, right bronchus or lung C34. 11 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 C34. 11 became effective on October 1, 2021.

(NEE-oh-PLA-zum) An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).
Benign neoplasm of bronchus and lung 1 D14.3 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM D14.3 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D14.3 - other international versions of ICD-10 D14.3 may differ.

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, ...
ICD Code D14.3 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of D14.3 that describes the diagnosis 'benign neoplasm of bronchus and lung' in more detail.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code D14.3 is a non-billable code.
A non-neoplastic or neoplastic condition affecting the lung. Representative examples of non-neoplastic conditions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia. Representative examples of neoplastic conditions include benign processes (e.g., respiratory papilloma) and malignant processes (e.g., lung carcinoma and metastatic cancer to the lung).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J98.4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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 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.
