ICD-10 does not appear to have a specific code for it. I was thinking of going with "Epidermal" cyst, since the cyst being excised technically is in the skin (as opposed to a joint/ or bone cyst). But I thought ICD-10 was supposed to be MORE specific, but in this case it would appear not to be.

Mucous cysts are a type of ganglion. They are fluid-filled sacs that are typically found at the finger joint closest to the fingernail, better known as the DIP joint. The stalk of the mucous cyst is often connected to the DIP joint. Mucous cysts are firm and do not easily move under the skin.
Mucoid cysts are fluid-filled sacs that usually develop on or near the joints of the fingers, although the toes can be affected. Typically benign, they feel like firm, rubbery lumps, and are usually not painful unless they grow large enough to put pressure on nerves.
ICD-10 code L72. 0 for Epidermal cyst is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
A ganglion is a soft tissue tumor that grows near a joint or tendon. A myxoid cyst involves soft tissue and grows near the last joint of a finger or toe and often stems from osteoarthritis.
Causes. While there is no known direct cause of mucoid cysts, they are linked to the degeneration of synovial tissue around the toe joint or finger, which characterises degenerative joint diseases including osteoarthritis. Mucoid cysts can involve a small bony growth from the joint cartilage which is degenerating.
A digital mucous cyst is a common, non-cancerous (benign) cyst. A cyst is a firm, fluid-filled bubble beneath the skin. Digital mucous cysts usually occur near the ends of the fingers (digits) by the nails, but may also be found on the toes. The cysts are usually small and often painless.
A myxoid cyst is a small, benign lump that occurs on fingers or toes, near a nail. It's also called a digital mucous cyst or mucous pseudocyst. Myxoid cysts are usually symptom-free. The cause of myxoid cysts isn't certain.
A synovial cyst is a small, fluid-filled sac that occurs on the top of the foot, or over a tendon or joint. These cysts are initially soft but can become firmer over time. A foot doctor or foot specialist near you can treat or remove your cysts surgically or non-surgically.
