| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

L03.124 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of acute lymphangitis of left upper limb. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code L03 is used to code Cellulitis

Cellulitis is a bacterial infection involving the inner layers of the skin. It specifically affects the dermis and subcutaneous fat. Signs and symptoms include an area of redness which increases in size over a couple of days. The borders of the area of redness are generally not sharp and the skin may be swollen. While the redness often turns white when pressure is applied this is not always the case. The area of infection is usually painful. Lymphatic vessels may occasionally be involved, and the person may have a fever and feel tired.

Cellulitis and abscess of upper arm and forearm (approximate match)
Cellulitis and abscess of hand, except fingers and thumb (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 L03.124 and a single ICD9 code, 682.4 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
