Foreign body granuloma is a tissue reaction for retained foreign bodies after skin-penetrating trauma. Detection of retained foreign bodies can be extremely difficult when the patients present with non-specific symptoms such as pain and/or swelling without recognizing a previous trauma.

Postoperative wound infection is classified to ICD-9-CM code 998.59, Other postoperative infection. Code 998.59 also includes postoperative intra-abdominal abscess, postoperative stitch abscess, postoperative subphrenic abscess, postoperative wound abscess, and postoperative septicemia.
The four wound classifications available within the NHSN application are: Clean (C), Clean-Contaminated (CC), Contaminated (CO), and Dirty/Infected (D).
These granulomas tend to look red and swollen, and in some cases, the body tries to remove the material through the skin's surface, creating what looks like a boil or pimple.
In around 90% of people with the condition, lumps grow in the lungs. According to the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, having too many granulomas can interfere with the structure and function of organs. It can also lead to fibrosis, which is permanent scarring.
Granuloma annulare is a benign (not cancer), often chronic (long-lasting) skin disorder in which inflammation in the skin causes a raised, discolored rash or lumps under the skin. In most cases, rashes form on the hands, feet and forearms.
2. A non-healing wound, such as an ulcer, is not coded with an injury code beginning with the letter S. Four common codes are L97-, “non-pressure ulcers”; L89-, “pressure ulcers”; I83-, “varicose veins with ulcers”; and I70.
Wound dehiscence is a surgery complication where the incision, a cut made during a surgical procedure, reopens. It is sometimes called wound breakdown, wound disruption, or wound separation. Partial dehiscence means that the edges of an incision have pulled apart in one or more small areas.
Encounter for change or removal of nonsurgical wound dressing. Z48. 00 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 Z48.
Foreign body granulomas can be treated effectively with intralesional corticosteroid injections. Surgical excisions of granulomas tend to be incomplete because granulomas have ill-defined borders and moreover, surgical excisions may leave scars and deformities.
Foreign body granulomas and abscesses due to bovine collagen injections often regress spontaneously within 1–2 years [2–4]. Other types of foreign body granuloma may persist for decades.
While uncommon, some pyogenic granulomas may shrink and resolve on their own after time, particularly if the cause was related to pregnancy or a certain medication. In these cases, no removal procedure is necessary. However, most pyogenic granulomas will need some sort of procedure to treat and remove them.
A granuloma is a small area of inflammation. Granulomas are often found incidentally on an X-ray or other imaging test done for a different reason. Typically, granulomas are noncancerous (benign). Granulomas frequently occur in the lungs, but can occur in other parts of the body and head as well.
