Papillary fibroelastomas, while considered generally rare, make up about 10 percent of all primary tumors of the heart. They are the third most common type of primary tumor of the heart, behind cardiac myxomas and cardiac lipomas .
However, this is still considered controversial. If the papillary fibroelastoma is associated with symptoms, surgical excision is generally recommended for relief of symptoms. A minimally invasive approach may be possible if the tumor involves the aortic valve or right atrium.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D21.9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D21.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 D21.9 may differ. All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not.
Benign neoplasm of connective and other soft tissue, unspecified. D21.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM D21.9 became effective on October 1, 2018.
ANSWER: Fibroelastomas are formally known as papillary fibroelastomas, or PFEs, and are sometimes called cardiac papillomas. These small, noncancerous tumors develop in the heart — most often on one of the valves located between the heart chambers.

Aortic valve calcification is a condition in which calcium deposits form on the aortic valve in the heart. These deposits can cause narrowing at the opening of the aortic valve. This narrowing can become severe enough to reduce blood flow through the aortic valve — a condition called aortic valve stenosis.
ICD-10-CM Code for Atherosclerosis of aorta I70. 0.
A bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve with only two cusps (or flaps) instead of three. The aortic valve controls the flow of blood from the left ventricle (chamber) to the aorta, the main artery delivering blood to your body.
Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis I35. 0 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 I35. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Disease definition. Familial bicuspid aortic valve is a rare, genetic, aortic malformation defined as a presence of abnormal two-leaflet aortic valve in at least 2 first-degree relatives.
An atrial myxoma is a noncancerous tumor in the upper left or right side of the heart. It most often grows on the wall that separates the two sides of the heart. This wall is called the atrial septum.
D15. 1 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 D15. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
6 for Thrombosis of atrium, auricular appendage, and ventricle as current complications following acute myocardial infarction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
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, ...

Specialty. Oncology, cardiology. A papillary fibroelastoma is a primary tumor of the heart that typically involves one of the valves of the heart. Papillary fibroelastomas, while considered generally rare, make up about 10 percent of all primary tumors of the heart. They are the third most common type of primary tumor of the heart, ...
Histologically, papillary fibroelastomas have branching avascular papillae, composed of collagen, that are covered by endothelium.
However, this is still considered controversial. If the papillary fibroelastoma is associated with symptoms, surgical excision is generally recommended for relief of symptoms. A minimally invasive approach may be possible if the tumor involves the aortic valve or right atrium.
