About M60.2

M60.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for foreign body granuloma of soft tissue, not elsewhere classified. It belongs to category M60 (myositis), block M60-M63 (disorders of muscles) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.

Within M60 (myositis), M60.2 is specifically for foreign body granuloma of soft tissue, not elsewhere classified. Related codes cover infective myositis (M60.0), interstitial myositis (M60.1), other myositis (M60.8) and unspecified (M60.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M60.20 (unspecified site), M60.21 (shoulder), M60.22 (upper arm), M60.23 (forearm), M60.24 (hand), M60.25 (thigh), M60.26 (lower leg), M60.27 (ankle and foot) and 1 more.

Don't report M60.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: foreign body granuloma of skin and subcutaneous tissue (L92.3).

Use an additional code to identify the type of retained foreign body (Z18.-).

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