M35.1 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other overlap syndromes. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Dermatomyositis

    a subacute or chronic inflammatory disease of muscle and skin, marked by proximal muscle weakness and a characteristic skin rash. the illness occurs with approximately equal frequency in children and adults. the skin lesions usually take the form of a purplish rash (or less often an exfoliative dermatitis) involving the nose, cheeks, forehead, upper trunk, and arms. the disease is associated with a complement mediated intramuscular microangiopathy, leading to loss of capillaries, muscle ischemia, muscle-fiber necrosis, and perifascicular atrophy. the childhood form of this disease tends to evolve into a systemic vasculitis. dermatomyositis may occur in association with malignant neoplasms. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, pp1405-6)
  • Polymyositis

    diseases characterized by inflammation involving multiple muscles. this may occur as an acute or chronic condition associated with medication toxicity (drug toxicity); connective tissue diseases; infections; malignant neoplasms; and other disorders. the term polymyositis is frequently used to refer to a specific clinical entity characterized by subacute or slowly progressing symmetrical weakness primarily affecting the proximal limb and trunk muscles. the illness may occur at any age, but is most frequent in the fourth to sixth decade of life. weakness of pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles, interstitial lung disease, and inflammation of the myocardium may also occur. muscle biopsy reveals widespread destruction of segments of muscle fibers and an inflammatory cellular response. (adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, pp1404-9)

    exosome component 10 (885 aa, ~101 kda) is encoded by the human exosc10 gene. this protein plays a role in the maturation and degradation of rna.
  • Other Overlap Syndromes|Other overlap syndromes

    evidence of other overlap syndromes not specified elsewhere.
  • Overlap Syndrome

    an autoimmune, connective tissue disorder in which the patient exhibits features from two or more diseases. these typically include systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and sjogren syndrome; in pediatrics the respective pediatric entities are encountered.
  • Scleroderma Polymyositis Overlap Syndrome|Scleroderma Polymyositis

    a rare autoimmune disorder in which patients present with overlapping symptoms of systemic scleroderma and polymyositis or dermatomyositis.

    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Connective Tissue Disorders

Your connective tissue supports many different parts of your body, such as your skin, eyes, and heart. It is like a "cellular glue" that gives your body parts their shape and helps keep them strong. It also helps some of your tissues do their work. It is made of many kinds of proteins. Cartilage and fat are types of connective tissue.

Over 200 disorders that impact connective tissue. There are different types:

  • Genetic disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta
  • Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and scleroderma
  • Cancers, like some types of soft tissue sarcoma

Each disorder has its own symptoms and needs different treatment.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
