H71.02 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cholesteatoma of attic, left ear. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code H71 is used to code Cholesteatoma

Cholesteatoma is a destructive and expanding growth consisting of keratinizing squamous epithelium in the middle ear and/or mastoid process. Although cholesteatomas are not classified as either tumors or cancers, they can still cause significant problems because of their erosive and expansile properties resulting in the destruction of the bones of the middle ear (ossicles), as well as their possible spread through the base of the skull into the brain. They are also often infected and can result in chronically draining ears.
