Benign neoplasms (D10-D36) The next section of the D codes covers the benign (/1) neoplasms.
Listen to pronunciation. (NEE-vus) A benign (not cancer) growth on the skin that is formed by a cluster of melanocytes (cells that make a substance called melanin, which gives color to skin and eyes). A nevus is usually dark and may be raised from the skin.
A abnormal, congenital formation or mark on the skin or neighboring mucosa that does not show neoplastic growth. [
These are neoplasms which are currently benign but have characteristics that make it possible for the tumor to become malignant. One final category is available for unspecified neoplasm, which is used when pathology has not yet determined the specific behavior of the neoplasm.
Consequently, an “unspecified” condition is reported while awaiting additional information. “Neoplasm of uncertain behavior” is frequently documented to describe a mass that is awaiting confirmatory biopsy results.

Z codes are a special group of codes provided in ICD-10-CM for the reporting of factors influencing health status and contact with health services. Z codes (Z00–Z99) are diagnosis codes used for situations where patients don't have a known disorder. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
A benign neoplasm that arises from the hair follicle. A neoplasm that arises from the hair follicle and does not metastasize to other anatomic sites. Codes. D23 Other benign neoplasms of skin. D23.0 Other benign neoplasm of skin of lip. D23.1 Other benign neoplasm of skin of eyelid, including canthus.
It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as D23. 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. benign lipomatous neoplasms of skin (.
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 mole is a cluster of melanocytes and surrounding supportive tissue that usually appears as a tan, brown, or flesh-colored spot on the skin. The plural of nevus is nevi (nee-vye).
