ICD-10-CM Code M88.832
Osteitis deformans of left forearm
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.M88.832 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of osteitis deformans of left forearm. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code M88 is used to code Paget's disease of bone
Paget's disease of bone (also termed osteitis deformans or, ambiguously, just Paget's disease; "Paget" is pronounced /ˈpædʒᵻt/) is a chronic disorder that can result in enlarged and misshapen bones. Paget's is caused by the excessive breakdown and formation of bone, followed by disorganized bone remodeling. This causes affected bone to weaken, resulting in pain, misshapen bones, fractures and arthritis in the joints near the affected bones. Rarely, it can develop into a primary bone cancer known as Paget's sarcoma. Often Paget's disease is localized to only a few bones in the body. The pelvis, femur, and lower lumbar vertebrae are the most commonly affected bones. The disease is named after Sir James Paget.

"This 92 year-old male patient presented for assessment of acute hemiparesis. An incidental finding was marked thickening of the calvarium. The diploic space is widened and there are ill-defined sclerotic and lucent areas throughout. The cortex is thickened and irregular. The findings probably correspond to the “cotton wool spots” seen on plain films in the later stages of Paget’s disease."

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
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 M88.832 and a single ICD9 code, 731.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
