Review of the Tabular shows that ICD-10-CM classifies the laterality of cellulitis of the lower extremity, with L03.115 being the right lower extremity. A note appears in the Tabular under the section Infections of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue (L00-L08) instructing to use an additional code (B95-B97) to identify infectious agent. ICD-10-CM also classifies decubitus ulcers of the buttocks both by stage and laterality. Gluteus is not listed in the classification, but it refers to the buttock region.

Rationale: In ICD-10-CM, there are individual categories for abscess (L02) and cellulitis (L03). In ICD-9-CM, these were combined. Note in the Index that abscess of the toe classifies to abscess of the foot, while abscess of the toe nail, classifies to cellulitis, toe. There are no “includes” or “excludes” notes that preclude the use of the abscess and gangrene code together, nor is there any sequencing guideline available.
