ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C48.0 [convert to ICD-9-CM] Malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum
Accumulations of blood in the peritoneal cavity due to internal hemorrhage. Bleeding originating from the peritoneum. ICD-10-CM K66.1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 393 Other digestive system diagnoses with mcc
The retroperitoneum represents a potential anatomic space that is immediately posterior to the abdominal cavity. Retroperitoneal injury is often seen in conjunction with other injuries in both blunt and penetrating trauma.
Retroperitoneal hematoma is defined as one resulting from retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Retroperitoneal hemorrhage and retroperitoneal hematoma are often used synonymously (which I find a bit confusing), defined as an accumulation of blood found in the retroperitoneal space.
A: Hemoperitoneum is defined as the presence of blood in the peritoneal cavity that accumulates in the space between the inner lining of the abdominal wall and the internal abdominal organs. Code K66.
Retroperitoneal bleeding occurs when blood enters into space immediately behind the posterior reflection of the abdominal peritoneum. The organs of this space include the esophagus, aorta, inferior vena cava, kidneys, ureters, adrenals, rectum, parts of the duodenum, parts of the pancreas, and parts of the colon.
CT angiography (CTA) is usually performed to detect the site of active retroperitoneal bleeding in cases of known or clinically suspected acute bleeding. Like CT, CTA provides the exact location of hematoma.
ICD-10 Code for Retroperitoneal abscess- K68. 1- Codify by AAPC.
The area in the back of the abdomen behind the peritoneum (the tissue that lines the abdominal wall and covers most of the organs in the abdomen). The organs in the retroperitoneum include the adrenal glands, aorta, kidneys, esophagus, ureters, pancreas, rectum, and parts of the stomach and colon.

The most common cause of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage in most series are angiomyolipomas. Patients can present with a variety of symptoms including abdominal, hip, and upper thigh pain. Acute onset of flank pain is not uncommon.
The retroperitoneum is divided into three main zones of injury: zone I is the central/midline retroperitoneum, zone II encompasses the perinephric space, and zone III comprises the pelvic retroperitoneum. Treatment of retroperitoneal hematomas varies depending on the anatomical location and mechanism of injury.
Hemoperitoneum, sometimes also called intra-abdominal hemorrhage or intraperitoneal hemorrhage, is a type of internal bleeding in which blood gathers in your peritoneal cavity. This is the space between your organs and the inner lining of your abdominal wall.
Retroperitoneal abscess (RA) is an uncommon disease that is mainly caused by perinephric inflammation, infections of the gastrointestinal tract, and postoperative complications [1]. Patients usually have comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, malignancy, and renal failure.
Retroperitoneal fluid – fluid is generally anechoic but may contain a variable number of echoes depending on the presence of cells, debris and/or gas bubbles. Fluid accumulations may be throughout the retroperitoneal space or localized.
Intra-abdominal and pelvic swelling, mass and lump ICD-10-CM R19. 00 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 391 Esophagitis, gastroenteritis and miscellaneous digestive disorders with mcc. 392 Esophagitis, gastroenteritis and miscellaneous digestive disorders without mcc.
K66.1 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hemoperitoneum. The code K66.1 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Also called: GI bleeding. Your digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine or colon, rectum, and anus. Bleeding can come from any of these areas. The amount of bleeding can be so small that only a lab test can find it.
The test used most often to look for the cause of GI bleeding is called endoscopy. It uses a flexible instrument inserted through the mouth or rectum to view the inside of the GI tract. A type of endoscopy called colonoscopy looks at the large intestine.
GI bleeding is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease. There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.
