About D17

D17 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign lipomatous neoplasm. It belongs to 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D17.0 (of skin and subcutaneous tissue of head, face and neck), D17.1 (of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk), D17.2 (of skin and subcutaneous tissue of limb), D17.3 (of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other and unspecified sites), D17.4 (of intrathoracic organs), D17.5 (of intra-abdominal organs), D17.6 (of spermatic cord), D17.7 (of other sites) and 1 more.

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