2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R22: Localized swelling, mass and lump of skin and subcutaneous tissue.
(eh-dee-ma) swelling caused by excess fluid in body tissues. Abnormal fluid accumulation in tissues or body cavities. Most cases of edema are present under the skin in subcutaneous tissue. Accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells or intercellular tissues.
Lower extremity edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lower legs, which may or may not include the feet (pedal edema). It is typically caused by one of three mechanisms. The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
Pedal edema causes an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the ankles, feet, and lower legs causing swelling of the feet and ankles. Two mechanisms can cause edema of the feet. Venous edema occurs due to increased capillary leakage that causes fluid to leak into the interstitial space from the venous system.
Bilateral swelling is usually due to systemic conditions (eg, cardiac failure) and unilateral is often due to local trauma, venous disease or lymphatic disease. Unilateral leg swelling is more often due to local causes (eg, deep vein thrombosis or cellulitis).
