D14.2 - Benign neoplasm of trachea
| ICD-10: | D14.2 |
| Short Description: | Benign neoplasm of trachea |
| Long Description: | Benign neoplasm of trachea |
| Status: | Valid for Submission |
| Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
| Code Classification: |
D14.2 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of benign neoplasm of trachea. The code is valid during the fiscal year 2023 from October 01, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] trachea or Neoplasm, neoplastic trachea (cartilage) (mucosa) or Neoplasm, neoplastic tracheobronchial or Neoplasm, neoplastic windpipe .
Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Benign neoplasm of trachea
- Granular cell tumor
- Inflammatory tracheobronchial papilloma
- Laryngotracheal papillomatosis
- Papilloma of bronchus
- Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis
- Solitary tracheobronchial papilloma
- Tracheobronchial granular cell myoblastoma
Clinical Information
- 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.

Table of Neoplasms
This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.
Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

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.

Tracheal Disorders
Your trachea, or windpipe, is one part of your airway system. Airways are pipes that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs.
When you inhale, air travels from your nose, through your larynx, and down your windpipe. The windpipe splits into two bronchi that enter your lungs.
Problems with the trachea include narrowing, inflammation, and some inherited conditions. You may need a procedure called a tracheostomy to help you breathe if you have swallowing problems, or have conditions that affect coughing or block your airways. You might also need a tracheostomy if you are in critical care and need to be on a breathing machine.
