2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D10.1Benign neoplasm of tongue

AHRQ’s CCSR groups this code into broader clinical categories.

• Ankyloglossia

  a severe congenital restriction of tongue movement, resulting from fusion or adherence of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. in partial ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) the lingual frenum is abnormally short, or is attached too close to the tip of the tongue. omim: 106280

• Bluetongue

  a reovirus infection, chiefly of sheep, characterized by a swollen blue tongue, catarrhal inflammation of upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and often by inflammation of sensitive laminae of the feet and coronet.

• Body Piercing

  the perforation of an anatomical region for the wearing of jewelry.

• Electronic Nose

  a device used to detect airborne odors, gases, flavors, volatile substances or vapors.

• Fasciculation

  involuntary contraction of the muscle fibers innervated by a motor unit. fasciculations may be visualized as a muscle twitch or dimpling under the skin, but usually do not generate sufficient force to move a limb. they may represent a benign condition or occur as a manifestation of motor neuron disease or peripheral nervous system diseases. (adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p1294)

• Glossitis, Benign Migratory

  an idiopathic disorder of the tongue characterized by the loss of filiform papillae leaving reddened areas of circinate macules bound by a white band. the lesions heal, then others erupt.

• Medicine, Chinese Traditional

  a system of traditional medicine which is based on the beliefs and practices of the chinese culture.

• Oral Frenectomy

  surgical procedures to release or remove abnormally short or tightly attached frenum (e.g., lingual frenum or labial frenum) associated with a pathological condition (e.g., tongue tie and lip tie).

• Pentastomida

  a subclass of crustacea comprising the tongue worms which are obligatory parasites of reptiles, birds, and mammals including humans.

• Tongue

  a muscular organ in the mouth that is covered with pink tissue called mucosa, tiny bumps called papillae, and thousands of taste buds. the tongue is anchored to the mouth and is vital for chewing, swallowing, and for speech.

• Tongue Diseases

  diseases involving the tongue.

• Tongue Habits

  acquired responses regularly manifested by tongue movement or positioning.

• Tongue Neoplasms

  tumors or cancer of the tongue.

• Tongue, Fissured

  the occurrence of of breaks or slits in the tissue of the dorsal surface of the tongue.

• Tongue, Hairy

  a benign condition of the tongue characterized by hypertrophy of the filiform papillae that give the dorsum of the tongue a furry appearance. the color of the elongated papillae varies from yellowish white to brown or black, depending upon staining by substances such as tobacco, food, or drugs. (dorland, 27th ed)

• Granular Cell Tumor

  unusual tumor affecting any site of the body, but most often encountered in the head and neck. considerable debate has surrounded the histogenesis of this neoplasm; however, it is considered to be a myoblastoma of, usually, a benign nature. it affects women more often than men. when it develops beneath the epidermis or mucous membrane, it can lead to proliferation of the squamous cells and mimic squamous cell carcinoma.

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.
