D17.1ICD-10 code: D17. 1 Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk.
ICD-10 code: R22. 1 Localized swelling, mass and lump, neck.
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.
Lipomas are benign tumors and are most common mesenchymal soft tissue tumors, composed of mature lipocytes. Frequent site are trunk and extremities. Axilla is an uncommon site of lipoma while giant axillary lipomas are rare.
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.
The lipoma is dissected from the surrounding tissue using scissors or a scalpel. Once a portion of lipoma has been dissected from the surrounding tissue, hemostats or clamps can be attached to the tumor to provide traction for removal of the remainder of the growth.

Functional activity. 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]
In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
