Benign fibrous histiocytomas (also known as Dermal dendrocytoma, Dermatofibroma, Fibrous dermatofibroma, Fibrous histiocytoma, Fibroma simplex, Nodular subepidermal fibrosis, and Sclerosing hemangioma) are benign skin growths. The ICD-10-CM Neoplasms Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code D23.6.

Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code D23.6 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of D23.6 that describes the diagnosis 'oth benign neoplasm skin/ upper limb, including shoulder' in more detail.

ICD-10 code: D48. 5 Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour: Skin.
214.1 - Lipoma of other skin and subcutaneous tissue | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code R68. 89 for Other general symptoms and signs is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
A skin neoplasm is an unusual growth on your skin. The word neoplasm is sometimes used interchangeably with cancer, but neoplasms can also be noncancerous. You might also hear neoplasms referred to as tumors. The cells in your skin grow and divide as needed. When you don't need them anymore, they die.
D49. 2 Neoplasm of unsp behavior of bone, soft tissue, and skin - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
If the lipoma were located superficially, the removal of the lipoma would be coded to excision of a benign lesion. The appropriate code would fall into the CPT code range 11400-11446 based on location and size of the lipoma removed.
A lipoma is a non cancerous (benign) lump that forms due to an overgrowth of fat cells. You can get a lipoma anywhere on the body where you have fat cells. Lipomas are not cancer. Cancerous tumours of the fat cells are called liposarcomas.
A benign tumor composed of adipose (fatty) tissue. The most common representative of this category is the lipoma.
R68. 89 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 R68. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Code D64. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Anemia, Unspecified, it falls under the category of diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism. Anemia specifically, is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is below normal.
A skin neoplasm of uncertain behavior is a skin growth whose behavior can't be predicted. This diagnosis is only reached after your doctor has conducted a biopsy and sent the sample to a pathologist for examination. There's no way to know whether it will develop into cancer or not.
When the behavior of a tumor cannot be predicted through pathology, it is called a neoplasm of uncertain behavior. These are neoplasms which are currently benign but have characteristics that make it possible for the tumor to become malignant.
(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 neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
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.

Dermatofibromas can be found anywhere on the body, but most often they are found on the legs and arms. They occur most often in women; the male to female ratio is about 1:4.
They are composed of disordered collagen laid down by fibroblasts. Dermatofibromas are classed as benign skin lesions, meaning they are completely harmless, though they may be confused with a variety of subcutaneous tumours.
Sections through epithelioid dermatofibroma show a centrally located, circumscribed tumour underlying an epidermal collarette. The tumour is composed of cells arranged in sheets and sometimes a storiform pattern. Individual cells show epithelioid morphology with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm with round vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli (figures 5, 6). The cells may be markedly enlarged and display some nuclear atypia and mitoses. There is frequently an associated inflammatory cell infiltrate which can be helpful for the diagnosis.
The clinical presentation of aneurysmal dermatofibroma is a rapidly growing blue-brown nodule. Periods of rapid growth are secondary to haemorrhage into the lesion. These tumours have a high recurrence rate and there is a report of aneurysmal dermatofibroma with regional lymph node involvement.
The term fibrous histiocytoma may be used interchangeably with dermatofibroma or to describe a dermatofibroma with a prominent storiform pattern.
Palisading dermatofibroma is characterised by prominent palisading of nuclei, mimicking Verocay bodies seen in schwannoma. Differentiating features from schwannoma include the lack of a capsule, and staining for S100 is negative (S100 is positive in schwannoma) (figures 19, 20, 21).
Dermatofibromas are dermal tumours characterised by a poorly defined proliferation of fibrohistiocytic cells within the dermis with an overlying grenz zone of sparing (figure 1). At the periphery of the lesion, there is entrapment of collagen (figure 2). The overlying epidermis may be acanthotic with increased basal layer pigmentation. Sometimes there is basaloid induction of the epidermis (figure 1, arrow) which may resemble small basal cell carcinoma or benign follicular tumours.
Haemosiderin deposition may be an additional feature. Aneurysmal dermatofibroma may be mistaken for a vascular tumour, however , clues to the diagnosis include surrounding features of dermatofibroma, and endothelial cell markers are positive in normal vessels only and not the aneurysmal spaces.
CD34 is positive in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and is usually negative in dermatofibroma, although the cellular variant may have focal positivity, especially at the periphery of the lesion. A study of clonal karyotype abnormalities in dermatofibroma found cellular dermatofibromas were more likely to have karyotype abnormalities than common dermatofibromas.
Benign fibrous histiocytomas (also known as Dermal dendrocytoma, Dermatofibroma, Fibrous dermatofibroma, Fibrous histiocytoma, Fibroma simplex, Nodular subepidermal fibrosis, and Sclerosing hemangioma) are benign skin growths.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code D23.71 and a single ICD9 code, 216.7 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
