Nonspecific mesenteric lymphadenitis I88. 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 I88. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Mesenteric lymphadenitis (also known as mesenteric adenitis) is inflammation (swelling) of the lymph nodes in the abdomen (belly). Lymph nodes are organs that are part of the body's immune system. They filter harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses so that they don't spread to other parts of the body.

Nonspecific lymphadenitis An acute or chronic infectious process affecting the lymph nodes. Inflammation of the lymph nodes.
Lymphadenopathy refers to any disease process involving lymph nodes that are abnormal in size and consistency. Lymphadenitis specifically refers to lymphadenopathies that are caused by inflammatory processes.

Acute nonspecific, or primary, mesenteric lymphadenitis is a self-limiting inflammatory condition affecting the mesenteric lymph nodes, whose presentation mimics appendicitis or intussusception. It typically occurs in children, adolescents, and young adults.
Mesenteric lymphadenitis is likely more common than acute appendicitis in the first decade of life [1–4, 8–10]. Acute appendicitis becomes more frequent in the second decade, whilst mesenteric lymphadenitis is distinctly uncommon after the age of 20 years.
Lymph nodes are present in the mesentery of the right lower quadrant (arrowhead) along with stranding of the mesenteric fat (short arrow), which reflects the inflammatory process.
The main difference is that mesenteric adenitis is less serious than appendicitis. It usually gets better on its own. Appendicitis usually requires surgery called an appendectomy to remove the appendix.
