D16.2Benign neoplasm of long bones of lower limb

D16.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of long bones of lower limb. It belongs to category D16 (benign neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage), block D10-D36 (benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D16 (benign neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage), D16.2 is specifically for benign neoplasm of long bones of lower limb. Related codes cover scapula and long bones of upper limb (D16.0), short bones of upper limb (D16.1), short bones of lower limb (D16.3), bones of skull and face (D16.4), lower jaw bone (D16.5), vertebral column (D16.6), ribs, sternum and clavicle (D16.7), pelvic bones, sacrum and coccyx (D16.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D16.20 (limb), D16.21 (limb) and D16.22 (limb).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
