I78.11.
Melanocytic nevi are benign neoplasms or hamartomas composed of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells that constitutively colonize the epidermis.
benignCompound Nevi Typically they are light tan to dark brown, dome shaped papules that are 1-10 mm in diameter. Compound Nevi are benign proliferations of melanocytes at the epidermal-dermal junction.
ICD20 Dysplastic Nevi I would use D48. 5 for the dx of dysplastic nevi. Also, if the patient also has a hx of dysplastic nevi, don't forget to include Z86.
Melanocytic naevi are pigmented moles. The word 'melanocytic' means that they are made up of the cells (melanocytes) which produce the dark pigment (melanin) that gives the skin its colour. Melanocytes clustered together form naevi.
Listen to pronunciation. (NEE-vus) A benign (not cancer) growth on the skin that is formed by a cluster of melanocytes (cells that make a substance called melanin, which gives color to skin and eyes). A nevus is usually dark and may be raised from the skin.
Listen to pronunciation. (KOM-pownd NEE-vus) A type of mole formed by groups of nevus cells found in the epidermis and dermis (the two main layers of tissue that make up the skin).
Most people have between 10 and 40. Common nevi are harmless collections of colored cells. They typically appear as small brown, tan, or pink spots. You can be born with moles or develop them later.
Intradermal Nevi are benign proliferations of melanocytes in the dermal layer of skin. Intradermal nevi are a common finding in man people, however a change in color, shape, or size should be investigated for malignant transformation.

ICD-10-CM Code for Disorder of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified L98. 9.
A abnormal, congenital formation or mark on the skin or neighboring mucosa that does not show neoplastic growth. [
Melanocytes: These are the cells that can become melanoma. They normally make a brown pigment called melanin, which gives the skin its tan or brown color.
They typically appear as small brown, tan, or pink spots. You can be born with moles or develop them later. Moles that you're born with are known as congenital moles. However, most moles develop during childhood and adolescence.
to the editor: In the article on newborn skin, the authors recommend removal of large and giant congenital melanocytic nevi as the current management strategy. In fact, complete nevus removal is impossible for many large nevi and virtually all giant nevi.
Congenital melanocytic nevi are caused by a change in color (pigment) cells of the skin. The moles happen by chance. CMN is not passed down from the parents. There is no way to prevent your child from being born with moles.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
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] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
