Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the D14 range.
Epiglottis
A thin leaf-shaped cartilage that is covered with LARYNGEAL MUCOSA and situated posterior to the root of the tongue and HYOID BONE. During swallowing, the epiglottis folds back over the larynx inlet thus prevents foods from entering the airway.
Eustachian Tube
A narrow passageway that connects the upper part of the throat to the TYMPANIC CAVITY.
Glottis
The vocal apparatus of the larynx, situated in the middle section of the larynx. Glottis consists of the VOCAL FOLDS and an opening (rima glottidis) between the folds.
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.
About the D14 Code Range
The ICD-10 code D14 category is assigned to describe benign neoplasms, or non-cancerous tumors, located in the middle ear and various parts of the respiratory system. These codes help precisely identify benign growths in areas such as the nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchus, and lungs.
This section includes specific codes like D14.0 for benign tumors of the middle ear, nasal cavity, and accessory sinuses, covering common terms such as papilloma of the nasal vestibule and tumors of the tympanic cavity. D14.1 captures benign neoplasms of the larynx, including laryngeal papillomatosis and tumors of vocal cords or arytenoid cartilage. D14.2 denotes benign growths in the trachea, often called tracheal papillomatosis. For benign tumors in the bronchus and lungs, D14.3 and its subcodes specify locations like the right or left bronchus and lung, covering neoplasms such as hamartomas and adenomas. Finally, D14.4 covers unspecified benign neoplasms of the respiratory system. These codes guide healthcare providers and coders in documenting and billing benign tumors of ear and respiratory sites, using familiar synonyms to clarify diagnoses.
