These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical InformationClinical
Mast-Cell Sarcoma
a unifocal malignant tumor that consists of atypical pathological mast cells without systemic involvement. it causes local destructive growth in organs other than in skin or bone marrow.Mastocytoma
a solid tumor consisting of a dense infiltration of mast cells. it is generally benign.Mastocytoma, Skin
a variant of cutaneous mastocytosis which occurs as a single lesion usually in infants. it is found mostly in the wrist and trunk and there is no atypical cytomorphology.Mast Cells
granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. like the basophils, mast cells contain large amounts of histamine and heparin. unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the stem cell factor.

Questions About D47.01Overview
Is D47.01 (Mast cell neoplasms of uncertain behavior) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report cutaneous mastocytosis on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What MS-DRG does D47.01 group to?
When cutaneous mastocytosis is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 820, 821, 822, 823, 824, 825, 840, 841, 842, with relative weights from 1.0104 to 5.8648 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of D47.01?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, cutaneous mastocytosis converts to ICD-9-CM 238.5 (mastocytoma NOS). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
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.
