S01.112A 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 S01.112A became effective on October 1, 2021.

What are the clinical features of lipodermatosclerosis? Acute lipodermatosclerosis may mimic cellulitis, with induration, erythema, pain, itch, aching, and a feeling of swelling or heaviness in one or, more often, both lower limbs [2]. In the acute phase, signs may be localised to a single plaque but are usually more widespread.
ICD-10 code: I87. 2 Venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral)
Rationale: Since the ulcer was caused by varicose veins, the I83. 0- category is the appropriate place to begin, and I83. 018 specifies the location of the ulcer.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I87. 332 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I87.
ICD-10 code I83. 813 for Varicose veins of bilateral lower extremities with pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
A common type of PVD is venous insufficiency, which occurs when the valves in the leg veins don't shut properly during blood's return to the heart. As a result, blood flows backward and pools in the veins.

Lipodermatosclerosis refers to changes in the skin of the lower legs. It is a form of panniculitis (inflammation of the layer of fat under the skin).

Varicose veins are dilated superficial veins in the lower extremities. Usually, no cause is obvious. Varicose veins are typically asymptomatic but may cause a sense of fullness, pressure, and pain or hyperesthesia in the legs. Diagnosis is by physical examination.
Only one service should be reported for each leg regardless of how many veins are treated.

Lipodermatosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by subcutaneous fibrosis and hardening of the skin on the lower legs.
Acute lipodermatosclerosis may mimic cellulitis, with induration, erythema, pain, itch, aching, and a feeling of swelling or heaviness in one or, more often, both lower limbs [2].
Lipodermatosclerosis is usually diagnosed clinically. Underlying venous insufficiency may be confirmed using Doppler studies.
Other clinical features of chronic venous insufficiency may be present, including hyperpigmentation of the skin from haemosiderin deposition, atrophie blanche, varicose veins, venous eczema, and venous ulcers.
The resulting venous hypertension causes an increase of leukocytes within the veins, which then migrate into surrounding tissue. The leukocytes become activated, attracting and releasing proinflammatory cells and cytokines, inducing a chronic inflammatory state. Increased collagen production leads to the fibrosis of subcutaneous fat [2].
Emollients and topical steroids are useful in the management of associated venous eczema.
Induration, erythema, and pain continue in the chronic phase of lipodermatosclerosis. Subcutaneous fibrosis may result in significant narrowing of the distal lower limb , causing the leg to have an ‘upside-down champagne bottle’ appearance [1,2].
