plans or Medicare. There are ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes which would indicate a specific reason for extractions. However, in the absence of coverage for extractions there will often be coverage for cyst removal. The following ICD-9-CM codes may be used for cyst removal in con-junction with extractions. 522.8 Radicular Cyst Cyst: apical (periodontal)

L72. 0 - Epidermal cyst. ICD-10-CM.
Epidermoid cysts are often found around hair follicles. These follicles are like cysts, but they have openings. Normal lubricating oils for your hair are sent out through these openings. A cyst occurs when an opening becomes blocked or the site inflamed.
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.
ICD-10 code L72. 0 for Epidermal cyst is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
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.
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.

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.
While both lipomas and cysts can look similar, cysts are usually smaller, slow growing, and found on the head and neck. Lipomas can be larger, are also generally slow growing, and often appear on the shoulders, neck, chest, arms, back, buttocks, and thighs.
Epidermoid cysts are often found on the head, neck, back, or genitals. They range in size from very small (millimeters) to inches across. They look like a small bump, and the overlying skin can be skin-colored, whitish, or yellowish in color. They're filled with cheesy-like, white keratin debris.
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, ...
