D18 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for hemangioma and lymphangioma, any site, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as D18.00, D18.01, D18.02, and D18.03.

Specific Coding for Hemangioma and lymphangioma, any siteOverview

Non-specific codes like D18 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • D18.0 for Hemangioma

  • Use D18.00 for Hemangioma unspecified site

  • Use D18.01 for Hemangioma of skin and subcutaneous tissue

  • Use D18.02 for Hemangioma of intracranial structures

  • Use D18.03 for Hemangioma of intra-abdominal structures

  • Use D18.09 for Hemangioma of other sites

  • Use D18.1 for Lymphangioma, any site

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D18: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 2. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

  • benign neoplasm of glomus jugulare (D35.6)
  • blue or pigmented nevus (D22.-)
  • nevus NOS (D22.-)
  • vascular nevus (Q82.5)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 2 (C00-D49) Neoplasms applies to 1,730 codes
  • Functional activity
  • All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
  • Morphology [Histology]
  • Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
  • Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
  • A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
  • Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
  • Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).

    benign neoplasm of vascular tissue (D18.-)

Excludes2 1

These codes carry an Excludes2 note naming D18: its condition is not part of those codes, and both may be reported when the patient has both.

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.
