Benign lipomatous neoplasm of intrathoracic organs

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A benign fatty tumor (lipoma) located inside the chest cavity, affecting organs or structures within the thorax.

Coding Tips

  • •Intrathoracic lipomas may be discovered incidentally on imaging and typically do not require treatment unless they cause compression
  • •Ensure imaging reports clearly document the intrathoracic location and benign nature before coding
