ICD-10 code K40 for Inguinal hernia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
9: Fever, unspecified.
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.
Introduction. Inguinal masses in women are rare entities, located in the groin area where the upper leg meets with the lower part of the abdomen. The swelling is generally confined to a small area and can be portrayed as hard, soft, sensitive, or not painful at all.
Overview. The inguinal region of the body, also known as the groin, is located on the lower portion of the anterior abdominal wall, with the thigh inferiorly, the pubic tubercle medially, and the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) superolaterally.
ICD-10 code R19. 09 for Other intra-abdominal and pelvic swelling, mass and lump is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

groinThe inguinal ligament is a set of two narrow bands in the inguinal area of the body (the groin). The groin is the fold where the bottom of the abdomen meets the inner thighs. The inguinal ligament connects the oblique muscles in the abdomen to the pelvis.

Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk 1 D17.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin, subcu of trunk 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM D17.1 became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D17.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 D17.1 may differ.
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.
D17.5 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Benign lipomatous neoplasm of intra-abdominal organs . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.

The ICD code D17 is used to code Lipoma. A lipoma is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue (body fat). It is the most common benign form of soft tissue tumor. Lipomas are soft to the touch, usually movable, and are generally painless.
Many lipomas are small (under one centimeter diameter) but can enlarge to sizes greater than six centimeters. Lipomas are commonly found in adults from 40 to 60 years of age, but can also be found in younger adults and children.
A lipoma of the cord is herniated fat that appears to originate from the retroperitoneal fat outside and posterior to the internal spermatic fascia and protrudes through the internal ring lateral to the cord.
Overall, 18 cord lipomas were found in groins without hernias, and these were identified before surgery in 10 (2 by physical examination, 7 by groin ultrasound, and 1 by magnetic resonance imaging). The remaining nine were misidentified as a hernia before surgery.
Twelve of these patients with a lipoma and no hernia were evaluated before surgery by ultrasound, with 11 having a positive finding. A lipoma was seen by ultrasound in seven, and a hernia was mistakenly identified in six. However, we have not usually made an attempt to distinguish a lipoma from a true hernia.
The decision to perform the repair open or laparoscopically was based on the patient’s wishes, comorbidities, and surgical history and the presence of bilateral or recurrent hernias. Either way, the type of hernia and presence of a cord lipoma was recorded.
They are generally not visible by transperitoneal inspection unless manually reduced. Conclusions. Lipomas of the cord and round ligament occur with a significant incidence. They can cause hernia-type symptoms in the absence of a true hernia (associated with a peritoneal defect).
If a laparoscopic biopsy of the liver is performed at the same time as another laparoscopic procedure, report unlisted code 47379, as there is no CPT code for a laparoscopic liver biopsy (see Table 3). It would be inappropriate to report 49321, Laparoscopy, surgical; with biopsy (single or multiple). Code 49321 is reported only when a biopsy is the only procedure performed. If these procedures were performed via an open approach, code 47600 (open cholecystectomy) would be reported with code 47001, Biopsy of liver, needle; when done for indicated purpose at time of other major procedure (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure), or code 47100, Biopsy of liver, wedge, as appropriate. Unlisted codes have a “YYY” global period, which indicates they are contractor-priced and require documentation that provides pertinent information, including an adequate definition or description of the nature, extent, and need for the procedure, and the time, effort, and equipment necessary to provide the service.

A lipoma or preperitoneal fat that is within the hernia sac or part of the hernia repair would not be separately reported . Code 55520, Excision of lesion of spermatic cord (separate procedure), is a “separate procedure.”.
