| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

D17.22 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of left arm. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code D17 is used to code Lipoma

A lipoma is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue (body fat). It is the most common benign form of soft tissue tumor. Lipomas are soft to the touch, usually movable, and are generally painless. Many lipomas are small (under one centimeter diameter) but can enlarge to sizes greater than six centimeters. Lipomas are commonly found in adults from 40 to 60 years of age, but can also be found in younger adults and children. Some sources claim that malignant transformation can occur, while others say this has yet to be convincingly documented.

Lipoma of other skin and subcutaneous tissue (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code D17.22 and a single ICD9 code, 214.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
