What is the CPT code for lung mass? Three new codes have been created to report lung or pleural space biopsy procedures: 32607, Thoracoscopy; with diagnostic biopsy(ies) of lung infiltrate(s) (eg, wedge, incisional, unilateral); 32608, Thoracoscopy; with diagnostic biopsy(ies) of lung nodule(s) or mass(es) (eg, wedge, incisional), unilateral; and 32609.
The following are USSD codes that I use with my Android OS Mobile:-

ICD-10 Code for Malignant neoplasm of lower lobe, right bronchus or lung- C34. 31- Codify by AAPC.
For example, lung mass and multiple lung nodules are specifically indexed to code R91. 8, Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field.
ICD-10 code R91. 8 for Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 code is R91.
A lung mass is an abnormal growth or area in the lungs that is more than 3 centimeters in diameter. Anything smaller than this is classified as a lung nodule. Lung masses can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). In most cases, lung masses are cancerous.
ICD-10 code Z51. 11 for Encounter for antineoplastic chemotherapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
ICD-10 code R93. 89 for Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified body structures is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Hilar Enlargement/Hilar Masses The hilar region of the lung may be affected by tumors (including both primary tumors and metastatic tumors), enlargement of hilar lymph nodes, or abnormalities of the pulmonary arteries or veins.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R91. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R91.
Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is an uncommon benign tumor of the lung; however, on rare occasions it can arise from the pulmonary hilar region. The condition is sometimes referred to as “pneumocytoma,” because it is considered to be a pulmonary epithelial tumor, rather than a vascular tumor as the name implies [1.
A malignant neoplasm (NEE-oh-plaz-um) is another term for a cancerous tumor. The term “neoplasm” refers to an abnormal growth of tissue. The term “malignant” means the tumor is cancerous and is likely to spread (metastasize) beyond its point of origin.
Group 1CodeDescriptionR91.1Solitary pulmonary nodule
(NEE-oh-PLA-zum) An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code R91.8. Click on any term below to browse the alphabetical index.
This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 793.19 was previously used, R91.8 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
