M60.26Foreign body granuloma of soft tissue, not elsewhere classified, lower leg

M60.26 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for foreign body granuloma of soft tissue, not elsewhere classified, lower leg. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within M60.2 (foreign body granuloma of soft tissue, not elsewhere classified), M60.26 is specifically for foreign body granuloma of soft tissue, not elsewhere classified, lower leg. Related codes cover unspecified site (M60.20), shoulder (M60.21), upper arm (M60.22), forearm (M60.23), hand (M60.24), thigh (M60.25), ankle and foot (M60.27) and other site (M60.28).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M60.261 (leg), M60.262 (leg) and M60.269 (leg).

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