Their corresponding character in ICD-10-CM is:
An appendicular abscess is a collection of pus resulting from perforation or rupture of acutely inflamed appendix. The pus remains localized close to the appendix, because it is walled off by adhesions formed by the surrounding abdominal structures. This prevents the pus from leaking and the infection spreading throughout the peritoneal cavity.
ICD-10 code K35. 33 for Acute appendicitis with perforation and localized peritonitis, with abscess is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
K35. 33 - Acute appendicitis with perforation and localized peritonitis, with abscess | ICD-10-CM.
It is located in the lower right part of the abdomen. It has no known function. A blockage inside of the appendix causes appendicitis. The blockage leads to increased pressure, problems with blood flow, and inflammation. If the blockage is not treated, the appendix can burst and spread infection into the abdomen.

Cutaneous abscess of abdominal wall L02. 211 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 L02. 211 became effective on October 1, 2021.
An appendiceal abscess is a condition in which an abscess is formed around the appendix as a result of appendiceal perforation or extension of inflammation to the adjacent tissues due to aggravation of appendicitis. It occurs in 2-6% of patients with appendicitis [2].
3 Acute appendicitis with localized peritonitis. Acute appendicitis (with or without perforation or rupture) with peritonitis: NOS.

ICD-9 Code APPENDICITIS 540-543- Codify By AAPC.
An abdominal abscess is a pocket of infected fluid and pus located inside the belly (abdominal cavity). This type of abscess can be located near or inside the liver, pancreas, kidneys or other organs.
Peritonitis. If your appendix bursts, the lining of your abdomen (peritoneum) will become infected with bacteria. This is called peritonitis. It can also damage your internal organs.
An intra-abdominal abscess is a collection of pus or infected fluid that is surrounded by inflamed tissue inside the belly. It can involve any abdominal organ, or it can settle in the folds of the bowel.
Periappendiceal abscess (PAA) is a severe complicated appendicitis with high morbidity. Non-surgical treatment followed by interval appendectomy (IA) is associated with lower complication rate compared with emergency surgery (ES) and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can be done more often.
