Summary. Cysts are abnormal, fluid-filled sacs that can develop in tissues in any part of the body. They are relatively common, and there are many different types. Infections, tumors, parasites, and injuries can cause cysts. They are usually noncancerous.
Arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid-filled sacs that are located between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid membrane, one of the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
A brain cyst or cystic brain lesion is a fluid-filled sac in the brain. They can be noncancer (benign) or cancer (malignant). Benign means that the growth doesn't spread to other parts of the body. A cyst may contain blood, pus, or other material. In the brain, cysts sometimes contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Hemiplegia and hemiparesis G81-. This category is to be used only when hemiplegia (complete) (incomplete) is reported without further specification, or is stated to be old or longstanding but of unspecified cause.
Less frequently, brain stem lesions; cervical spinal cord diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia.
A sebaceous cyst should be coded with L72.3. There is no separate ICD-10 code for enlarging. If this code doesn't pass the edits, then you would just need to submit and let it deny, then appeal the denial with records showing that the characteristics of the lesion that are documented for the patient meet the criteria in the LCD to support the medical necessity of the excision.
Medicare requires a 2nd dx to justify the reason for removal. "Enlarging" is listed on the indications for removal, I just can't pair up an appropriate dx that is covered from the LCD.
