D36.1Benign neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system

D36.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for benign neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system. It belongs to category D36 (benign neoplasm of other and unspecified sites), 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D36 (benign neoplasm of other and unspecified sites), D36.1 is specifically for benign neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system. Related codes cover neoplasm of lymph nodes (D36.0), neoplasm of other specified sites (D36.7) and neoplasm, unspecified site (D36.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D36.10 (unspecified), D36.11 (of face, head, and neck), D36.12 (upper limb, including shoulder), D36.13 (of lower limb, including hip), D36.14 (of thorax), D36.15 (of abdomen), D36.16 (of pelvis) and D36.17 (of trunk, unspecified).

Don't report D36.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: benign neoplasm of peripheral nerves of orbit (D31.6-) and neurofibromatosis (Q85.0-).

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