The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code K62.89:
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code K62.89 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code K62.89 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
The anus is the opening of the rectum through which stool passes out of your body. Problems with the anus are common. They include hemorrhoids, abscesses, fissures (cracks), and cancer.

So, a lack of clear, smooth margins, heterogeneous echo patterns, and an increase in the anterioposterior dimension can indicate a higher probability of malignancy in solid breast nodules.
Hypoechoic breast lesions are suspicious for malignancy and on ultrasound imaging they will tend to look darker than the surrounding isoechoic fat. But malignancies can also show as isoechoic or hyperechoic lesions on breast ultrasound, so it is not a rigid rule by any means.
The most important features on a breast ultrasound are the smoothness and contour of the mass margins and the shape of the mass. Smooth surface is good, irregular is bad. The echo texture and echogenicity, and the effects on distal echoes.
Spiculations often represent breast tumor ‘ tentacles ‘ or desmoplastic reactions. On ultrasound, spiculations will often consist of straight lines that ‘radiate’ in a perpendicular fashion from the surface of the breast mass.
Ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection. Breast ultrasound is used to distinguish solid from cystic masses using sound waves. Is it a hypoechoic mass or is it a hyperechoic lesion? Is it a lesion or a mass?
a branch pattern. or microlobulation, or a duct extension. a ‘taller than wide’ shape, angular margins, the presence of microcalcifications, and spiculation, which probably has the highest positive predictive value for malignant breast cancer.
Mammography is more sensitive than ultrasound when it comes to the detection of microcalcifications. Calcifications on a solid mass which appear ‘punctate’ are highly suspicious of malignancy and will usually appear on ultrasound as bright, punctate foci.
