L92.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of granulomatous disorder of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code L92 is used to code Granuloma

Granuloma[a] (plural granulomas or granulomata) is an inflammation found in many diseases. It is a collection of immune cells known as histiocytes. Granulomas form when the immune system attempts to wall off substances it perceives as foreign but is unable to eliminate. Such substances include infectious organisms including bacteria and fungi, as well as other materials such as keratin and suture fragments. The adjective granulomatous means characterized by granulomas.

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 L92.9 and a single ICD9 code, 701.5 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
