ICD-10-CM Code for Epidermal cyst L72. 0.
Epidermal inclusion cysts form when the follicular infundibulum is disrupted, or when the surface of the skin becomes implanted below the skin through an injury or trauma in the area, such as a scratch, surgical wound or a skin condition like acne.
Epidermal inclusion cysts are extremely common, benign, not contagious, and can appear to resolve on their own. Without definitive treatment, they can reoccur. They often occur in areas where hair follicles have been inflamed and are usually common in conjunction with acne.[1][2][3]
As such, CPT 11406 Excision, benign lesion including margins, except skin tags (unless listed elsewhere), trunk, arms or legs; excised diameter over 4.0 cm would be appropriate.
Abstract. Epidermal inclusion cysts are common lesions that rarely develop into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Neoplastic change in these cysts can be associated with prominent symptoms such as pain, rapid growth, or ulceration.
Epidermal inclusion cysts are benign cutaneous lesions caused by dermal or subdermal implantation and proliferation of epidermal squamous epithelium as a result of trauma or surgery. They are typically located on the scalp, face, trunk, neck, or back; however they can be found anywhere on the body.
Epidermoid cyst Epidermoid cysts occur most often on your face, neck and trunk. Epidermoid (ep-ih-DUR-moid) cysts are noncancerous small bumps beneath the skin. They can appear anywhere on the skin, but are most common on the face, neck and trunk.
What Are Types of Cysts?Dermoid Cyst. A non-cancerous sac that you have at birth but may not see as a bump until later in life. ... Ganglion Cyst. ... Lipoma. ... Pilomatrixoma. ... Pyogenic Granuloma. ... Sebaceous Cyst.
Epidermoid cysts have only a cheesy material composed of sebum and epithelial debris, which are made from squamous epithelium but dermoid cysts contain hair, sebaceous and sweat glands, and squamous epithelium.
These cysts are more common in adults than in children. Sometimes, epidermal cysts are called sebaceous cysts. This is not correct because the contents of the two types of cysts are different. Epidermal cysts are filled with dead skin cells, while true sebaceous cysts are filled with yellowish oily material.
What CPT code should we use for excision of a sebaceous cyst? A code for excision of a benign lesion (e.g., 11400), specific to location and size of the cyst, would probably be most appropriate.
TreatmentInjection. This treatment involves injecting the cyst with a medicine that reduces swelling and inflammation.Incision and drainage. With this method, your doctor makes a small cut in the cyst and gently squeezes out the contents. ... Minor surgery. Your doctor can remove the entire cyst.
A benign neoplasm comprised of a cyst, lined by mature epidermis-like tissue with dermal appendages. A benign tumor resulting from abnormal embryonic development. A mature teratoma characterized by the presence of a cyst which is lined by mature tissue resembling the epidermis and the epidermal appendages.
A type of benign (not cancer) germ cell tumor (type of tumor that begins in the cells that give rise to sperm or eggs) that often contains several different types of tissue such as hair, muscle, and bone.

A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( K09) and the excluded code together.
