What causes ganglion cysts? A ganglion cyst starts when the fluid leaks out of a joint or tendon tunnel and forms a swelling beneath the skin. The cause of the leak is generally unknown, but may be due to trauma or underlying arthritis.
Bursal cysts are thin- walled cysts filled with gelatinous material. They occur most commonly around major joint spaces. 1,2 The origin of the cyst is somewhat obscure. The cysts are themselves harmless but can be painful due to compression of adjacent nerves. 3 Previously surgery was the main- stay of treatment.

The wrist, or carpus, contains eight carpal bones. There are three bones in the proximal row (scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum) and five bones in the distal row (trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate, and pisiform). The trapezium is also known as the greater multangular, the trapezoid as the lesser multangular, and the scaphoid as the navicular bone.#N#In ICD-10-CM, most wrist conditions coded from chapter 13 (M codes) have a “3” in the fifth position of the code such as M19.031 Primary osteoarthritis, right wrist. Common conditions of the wrist and distal radius from chapters 13 and 19 (M and S codes) are:
Hand weakness or stiffness, especially with regard to grip strength.
A wrist defect often requiring surgical intervention is scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC.) SLAC is a condition of progressive instability that causes advanced radiocarpal and midcarpal osteoarthritis. SLAC describes a specific pattern of progressive subluxation with loss of articulation between the scaphoid and lunate bones. SLAC usually results from trauma to the wrist, but may be caused by a degenerative process such as calcinosis or as a sequela of a prior injury. SLAC is estimated to account for more than half of all non-traumatic wrist osteoarthritis cases.#N#Signs and symptoms of SLAC include:
Coding fracture of carpal bone (S62.1- Fracture of other and unspecified carpal bone (s)) when the diagnosis is a distal radius fracture (S52.5- Fracture of lower end of radius ).
De Quervain’s disease (radial styloid tenosynovitis) is an inflammation of the first dorsal extensor compartment; this is entrapment tendinitis causing tendon thickening, which leads to restricted motion and a grinding sensation with tendon movement (crepitus).
The wrist is classified as an “intermediate” joint, but consists of many intricate structures and bones. Accurate coding of wrist diagnoses, services, and procedures requires a solid working knowledge of wrist, hand, and distal forearm anatomy.
Not only will the ICD-10-CM codes be different depending on the clinical interpretation of mass, but so will the CPT® codes. In each of the anatomical divisions of the Musculoskeletal System subsection of the Surgery section of CPT ®, we focus on the excision procedures, as follows: 1 General (20150 – 20251) 2 Head (21011 – 21070) 3 Neck/Thorax (21550 – 21632) 4 Back/Flank (21920 – 21936) 5 Spine (22100 – 22116) 6 Abdomen (22900 – 22905) 7 Shoulder (23065 – 23220) 8 Humerus/Elbow (24065 – 24155) 9 Forearm/Wrist (25065 – 25240) 10 Hand/Fingers (26100 – 26262) 11 Pelvis/Hip Joint (27040 – 27080) 12 Femur/Knee (27323 – 27365) 13 Leg/Ankle Joint (27613 – 27647) 14 Foot/Toes (28039 – 28175)
Clinically, there’s no such thing as a “mass” within a musculoskeletal structure; neither is there an ICD-10-CM code for any musculoskeletal site mass. A mass commonly applies to organs such as breasts, kidneys, and lungs but not to bones, muscles, and tendons.
As Hampton also mentions, not every excision will involve a pathological intervention, so it’s important that you capture any provider-documented diagnoses. In terms of orthopedic coding, if the provider simply documents “mass,” then this is not a definitive diagnosis.
