What This Code Means

D48.118 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for desmoid tumor of other site. A desmoid tumor in a location not specified by the other desmoid tumor codes, such as unusual or multiple sites. D48.118 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering neoplasms of uncertain behavior, polycythemia vera and myelodysplastic syndromes (d37-d48).

D48.118 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

Use this code only when the desmoid tumor location does not fit into the more specific categories.
