Developmental (nonodontogenic) cysts of oral region

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

What This Code Means

Fluid-filled sacs in the mouth or jaw that develop from non-tooth tissues, such as remnants of embryonic structures.

Coding Tips

  • •Differentiate from odontogenic cysts (K09.0) by confirming the cyst does not originate from tooth-forming tissues
  • •Document the specific type if known (e.g., nasopalatine duct cyst, median palatal cyst)
