Code Classification

  • Neoplasms
    (C00–D49)
    • Benign neoplasms, except benign neuroendocrine tumors
      (D10-D36)
      • Hemangioma and lymphangioma, any site
        (D18)

D18.00 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hemangioma unspecified site. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like D18.00 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome

    an autosomal dominant disorder manifested by various combinations of preauricular pits, branchial fistulae or cysts, lacrimal duct stenosis, hearing loss, structural defects of the outer, middle, or inner ear, and renal dysplasia. associated defects include asthenic habitus, long narrow facies, constricted palate, deep overbite, and myopia. hearing loss may be due to mondini type cochlear defect and stapes fixation. (jablonski's dictionary of syndromes & eponymic diseases, 2d ed)
  • Enchondromatosis

    benign growths of cartilage in the metaphyses of several bones.
  • Granuloma, Pyogenic

    a disorder of the skin, the oral mucosa, and the gingiva, that usually presents as a solitary polypoid capillary hemangioma often resulting from trauma. it is manifested as an inflammatory response with similar characteristics to those of a granuloma.
  • Hemangioma

    a vascular anomaly due to proliferation of blood vessels that forms a tumor-like mass. the common types involve capillaries and veins. it can occur anywhere in the body but is most frequently noticed in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. (from stedman, 27th ed, 2000)
  • Hemangioma, Capillary

    a dull red, firm, dome-shaped hemangioma, sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, which grows rapidly and generally undergoes regression and involution without scarring. it is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. (dorland, 27th ed)
  • Hemangioma, Cavernous

    a vascular anomaly that is a collection of tortuous blood vessels and connective tissue. this tumor-like mass with the large vascular space is filled with blood and usually appears as a strawberry-like lesion in the subcutaneous areas of the face, extremities, or other regions of the body including the central nervous system.
  • Hemangioma, Cavernous, Central Nervous System

    a vascular anomaly composed of a collection of large, thin walled tortuous veins that can occur in any part of the central nervous system but lack intervening nervous tissue. familial occurrence is common and has been associated with a number of genes mapped to 7q, 7p and 3q. clinical features include seizures; headache; stroke; and progressive neurological deficit.
  • Histiocytoma, Benign Fibrous

    a benign tumor composed, wholly or in part, of cells with the morphologic characteristics of histiocytes and with various fibroblastic components. fibrous histiocytomas can occur anywhere in the body. when they occur in the skin, they are called dermatofibromas or sclerosing hemangiomas. (from devita jr et al., cancer: principles & practice of oncology, 5th ed, p1747)
  • Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome

    rapidly growing vascular lesion along the midline axis of the neck, upper trunk, and extremities that is characterized by consumption coagulopathy; thrombocytopenia; and hemolytic anemia. it is often associated with infantile kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and other vascular tumors such as tufted angioma.
  • Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangioma

    a benign neoplasm of pneumocytes, cells of the pulmonary alveoli. originally considered to be vascular in origin, it is now classified as an epithelial tumor with several elements, including solid cellular areas, papillary structure, sclerotic regions, and dilated blood-filled spaces resembling hemangioma.
  • Sturge-Weber Syndrome

    a non-inherited congenital condition with vascular and neurological abnormalities. it is characterized by facial vascular nevi (port-wine stain), and capillary angiomatosis of intracranial membranes (meninges; choroid). neurological features include epilepsy; cognitive deficits; glaucoma; and visual defects.
  • Glomus Jugulare Tumor

    a paraganglioma involving the glomus jugulare, a microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the bulb of the jugular vein. it may cause paralysis of the vocal cords, attacks of dizziness, blackouts, and nystagmus. it is not resectable but radiation therapy is effective. it regresses slowly, but permanent control is regularly achieved. (from dorland, 27th ed; stedman, 25th ed; devita jr et al., cancer: principles & practice of oncology, 3d ed, pp1603-4)
  • Glomus Tumor

    a blue-red, extremely painful vascular neoplasm involving a glomeriform arteriovenous anastomosis (glomus body), which may be found anywhere in the skin, most often in the distal portion of the fingers and toes, especially beneath the nail. it is composed of specialized pericytes (sometimes termed glomus cells), usually in single encapsulated nodular masses which may be several millimeters in diameter (from stedman, 27th ed). chemodectoma, a tumor of neural crest origin, is also sometimes called a glomus tumor.
  • Blood Vessels

    any of the tubular vessels conveying the blood (arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins).
  • Histiocytes

    macrophages found in the tissues, as opposed to those found in the blood (monocytes) or serous cavities (serous membrane).
  • Sinusoidal Hemangioma

    a rare hemangioma occurring mainly in middle-aged adults. the most common location is in the trunk. the lesions are small, asymptomatic, and bluish. they are composed of irregular, dilated, congested thin-walled vascular channels with scant smooth muscle in a sinusoidal or sieve-like pattern. (who 2018)
  • Glomeruloid Hemangioma

    a hemangioma associated with castleman disease and poems syndrome. the lesions affect the trunk and extremities and present as erythematous papules. (who 2018)

Patient Education


Benign Tumors

Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.

Tumors are made up of extra cells. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as your body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when your body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form tumor.

Treatment often involves surgery. Benign tumors usually don't grow back.

Birthmarks

Birthmarks are abnormalities of the skin that are present when a baby is born. There are two types of birthmarks. Vascular birthmarks are made up of blood vessels that haven't formed correctly. They are usually red. Two types of vascular birthmarks are hemangiomas and port-wine stains. Pigmented birthmarks are made of a cluster of pigment cells which cause color in skin. They can be many different colors, from tan to brown, gray to black, or even blue. Moles can be birthmarks.

No one knows what causes many types of birthmarks, but some run in families. Your baby's doctor will look at the birthmark to see if it needs any treatment or if it should be watched. Pigmented birthmarks aren't usually treated, except for moles. Treatment for vascular birthmarks includes laser surgery.

Most birthmarks are not serious, and some go away on their own. Some stay the same or get worse as you get older. Usually birthmarks are only a concern for your appearance. But certain types can increase your risk of skin cancer. If your birthmark bleeds, hurts, itches, or becomes infected, call your health care provider.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
