D17.22ICD-10 Code for Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of left arm- D17. 22- Codify by AAPC.
Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of unspecified sites. D17. 30 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 D17.
A lipoma is a fatty tumor located just below the skin. It isn't cancer and is usually harmless. A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump that's most often situated between your skin and the underlying muscle layer. A lipoma, which feels doughy and usually isn't tender, moves readily with slight finger pressure.
A lipoma is a non cancerous (benign) lump that forms due to an overgrowth of fat cells. You can get a lipoma anywhere on the body where you have fat cells. Lipomas are not cancer. Cancerous tumours of the fat cells are called liposarcomas.
D17.5ICD-10-CM Code for Benign lipomatous neoplasm of intra-abdominal organs D17. 5.
The lipoma is dissected from the surrounding tissue using scissors or a scalpel. Once a portion of lipoma has been dissected from the surrounding tissue, hemostats or clamps can be attached to the tumor to provide traction for removal of the remainder of the growth.
Lipomas are benign tumors and are most common mesenchymal soft tissue tumors, composed of mature lipocytes. Frequent site are trunk and extremities. Axilla is an uncommon site of lipoma while giant axillary lipomas are rare.
If the lipoma were located superficially, the removal of the lipoma would be coded to excision of a benign lesion. The appropriate code would fall into the CPT code range 11400-11446 based on location and size of the lipoma removed.

D17.0D17. 0 - Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of head, face and neck. ICD-10-CM.
A benign, usually painless, well-circumscribed lipomatous tumor composed of adipose tissue. Skin biopsy, diagnostic of pss: skin biopsy revealing increased compact collagen in the reticular dermis, thinning of the epidermis, loss of rete pegs, atrophy of dermal appendages, and hyalinization and fibrosis of arterioles.
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.
A benign neoplasm composed of adipose tissue. A benign tumor composed of adipose (fatty) tissue. The most common representative of this category is the lipoma. A benign tumor composed of fat cells (adipocytes). It can be surrounded by a thin layer of connective tissue (encapsulated), or diffuse without the capsule.
The ICD code D17 is used to code Lipoma. A lipoma is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue (body fat). It is the most common benign form of soft tissue tumor. Lipomas are soft to the touch, usually movable, and are generally painless.
Many lipomas are small (under one centimeter diameter) but can enlarge to sizes greater than six centimeters. Lipomas are commonly found in adults from 40 to 60 years of age, but can also be found in younger adults and children.
