D17.3Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other and unspecified sites

D17.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other and unspecified sites. It belongs to category D17 (benign lipomatous neoplasm), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D17, choose D17.3 (of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other and unspecified sites) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of skin and subcutaneous tissue of head, face and neck (D17.0), of skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk (D17.1), of skin and subcutaneous tissue of limb (D17.2), of intrathoracic organs (D17.4), of intra-abdominal organs (D17.5), of spermatic cord (D17.6), of other sites (D17.7) and unspecified (D17.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D17.30 (sites) and D17.39 (sites).

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