ICD-10-CM Code D13.6
Benign neoplasm of pancreas
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.D13.6 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of pancreas. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code D136 is used to code Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a type of tumor (neoplasm) that grows within the pancreatic ducts (intraductal) and is characterized by the production of thick fluid by the tumor cells (mucinous). Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are important because if they are left untreated some of them progress to invasive cancer (transform from a benign tumor to a malignant tumor). Just as colon polyps can develop into colon cancer if left untreated, so too do some intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms progress into an invasive pancreatic cancer. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms can present an opportunity to treat a pancreatic tumor before it develops into an aggressive, hard-to-treat cancer.
