K11.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other diseases of salivary glands. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code K118 is used to code Necrotizing sialometaplasia

Necrotizing sialometaplasia (NS) is a benign, ulcerative lesion, usually located towards the back of the hard palate. It is thought to be caused by ischemic necrosis (death of tissue due to lack of blood supply) of minor salivary glands in response to trauma. Often painless, the condition is self-limiting and should heal in 6–10 weeks.

Other specified diseases of the salivary glands (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 K11.8 and a single ICD9 code, 527.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
