About the D10 Code Range
Benign growths in the mouth and pharynx, or throat, fall under D10.
The subdivisions follow the growth’s location. They distinguish the lip, tongue, floor of mouth, other mouth sites, tonsil, and parts of the pharynx. D10.3 separates other mouth sites from an unspecified mouth site. The pharynx codes distinguish the oropharynx, nasopharynx, and hypopharynx, with a separate code when the part is unspecified.
