Benign neoplasm of left breast

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

D24.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of left breast. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code D24 is used to code Fibroadenoma

Fibroadenomas of the breast are benign tumors characterized by an admixture of stromal and epithelial tissue. Since both fibroadenomas and breast cancer can appear as similar lumps, it is currently recommended to perform ultrasound analyses and possibly tissue sampling with subsequent histopathologic analysis in order to perform diagnosis. Unlike typical lumps from breast cancer, fibroadenomas are easy to move, with clearly defined edges.
