About coding pseudoxanthoma elasticum
The ICD-10-CM code for pseudoxanthoma elasticum is Q82.8 (Other specified congenital malformations of skin).
Within Q82, choose Q82.8 (Other specified congenital malformations of skin) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: hereditary lymphedema (Q82.0), Xeroderma pigmentosum (Q82.1), congenital cutaneous mastocytosis (Q82.2), Incontinentia pigmenti (Q82.3), ectodermal dysplasia (anhidrotic) (Q82.4), congenital non-neoplastic nevus (Q82.5), congenital sacral dimple (Q82.6) and congenital malformation of skin, unspecified (Q82.9).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of Q82.8, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: disorders of pyrophosphate metabolism (E83.82-).
