D17.6Benign lipomatous neoplasm of spermatic cord

D17.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign lipomatous neoplasm of spermatic cord. It belongs to category D17 (benign lipomatous neoplasm), block D10-D36 (benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within D17 (benign lipomatous neoplasm), D17.6 is specifically for benign lipomatous neoplasm of spermatic cord. Related codes cover 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 skin and subcutaneous tissue of other and unspecified sites (D17.3), of intrathoracic organs (D17.4), of intra-abdominal organs (D17.5), of other sites (D17.7) and unspecified (D17.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is on the CMS list of diagnoses consistent only with male patients (the sex-conflict edit itself was retired in FY2025).

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 214.4 (Lipoma of spermatic cord).
