The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM D23.9 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D23.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 D23.9 may differ. All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not.
Fibrous papule of the nose Nevus of ota, acquired ICD-10-CM D22.39 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 606 Minor skin disorders with mcc
A typical finding of classic Spitz nevi are PAS+, eosinophilic, hyaline globules, so called Kamino bodies, located at the dermoepidermal junction Comment: The gross specimen is a 0.5 cm, pink-brown, dome shaped papule of the right arm. Microscopically, the tumor is symmetrical and well demarcated with a wedge shaped growth pattern.

D22.9D22. 9 - Melanocytic nevi, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Most people continue to develop new moles until about age 40. In older people, common moles tend to fade away. Another name for a mole is a nevus. The plural is nevi.
D22. 5 - Melanocytic nevi of trunk. ICD-10-CM.
A Spitz nevus is a rare type of skin mole that usually affects young people and children. Although it can look like a serious form of skin cancer called melanoma, a Spitz nevus lesion isn't considered cancerous.
I78.1I78. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
(NEE-vus) A benign (not cancer) growth on the skin that is formed by a cluster of melanocytes (cells that make a substance called melanin, which gives color to skin and eyes). A nevus is usually dark and may be raised from the skin. Also called mole.
Epidermal nevus syndromes (ENSs) are a group of rare complex disorders characterized by the presence of skin lesions known as epidermal nevi associated with additional extra-cutaneous abnormalities, most often affecting the brain, eye and skeletal systems.
Melanocytic nevi are benign neoplasms or hamartomas composed of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells that constitutively colonize the epidermis.
Intradermal melanocytic nevi are common, benign, pigmented skin tumors formed by proliferation of dermal melanocytes. A number of notable, uncommon changes may be observed in intradermal melanocytic nevi. In particular, their association with lymphatic invasion is an extremely rare phenomenon.
(dis-PLAS-tik NEE-vus) A specific type of nevus (mole) that looks different from a common mole. Dysplastic nevi are mostly flat and often larger than common moles and have borders that are irregular. A dysplastic nevus can contain different colors, which can range from pink to dark brown.
ICD-10-CM Code for Disorder of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified L98. 9.
The plural of nevus is nevi (nee-vye). A benign (not cancer) growth on the skin that is formed by a cluster of melanocytes (cells that make a substance called melanin, which gives color to skin and eyes). A mole is usually dark and may be raised from the skin.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.

For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.

A dysplastic nevus is often larger with borders that are not easy to see. Its color is usually uneven and can range from pink to dark brown. Parts of the mole may be raised above the skin surface. A dysplastic nevus may develop into malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer).
The term is usually restricted to nevocytic nevi (round or oval collections of melanin-containing nevus cells occurring at the dermoepidermal junction of the skin or in the dermis proper) or moles, but may be applied to other pigmented nevi. A type of nevus (mole) that looks different from a common mole.
A benign (not cancer) growth on the skin that is formed by a cluster of melanocytes (cells that make a substance called melanin, which gives color to skin and eyes). A mole is usually dark and may be raised from the skin.
A circumscribed stable malformation of the skin and occasionally of the oral mucosa, which is not due to external causes and therefore presumed to be of hereditary origin. A neoplasm composed of melanocytes that usually appears as a dark spot on the skin. A nevus characterised by the presence of excessive pigment.

Conventional Spitz nevi are well circumscribed, symmetrical and show an overall wedge shaped silhouette. Consist of large junctional and dermal melanocytic nests formed by spindled or epitheliod cells. Melanocytes are large, spindled or epitheliod, contain abundant pale or ground glass cytoplasm and finely dispersed pigment (if present)
Atypical Spitz tumor : Age usually > 10 years or postpubertal. Atypical Spitz tumors are usually larger (> 5 - 10 mm) than Spitz nevi and show some worrisome histological features, such as asymmetry, pagetoid scatter in the periphery of the tumor, moderate nuclear pleomorphism and hyperchromatic nuclei.
