Granulomatous disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue (L92) ICD-10-CM
The L92 code range covers granulomatous disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue with 7 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 6 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the L92 range.
Granuloma Annulare
Benign granulomatous disease of unknown etiology characterized by a ring of localized or disseminated papules or nodules on the skin and palisading histiocytes surrounding necrobiotic tissue resulting from altered collagen structures.
Necrobiosis Lipoidica
A degenerative disease of the dermal connective tissue characterized by the development of erythematous papules or nodules in the pretibial area. The papules form plaques covered with telangiectatic vessels. More than half of the affected patients have diabetes.
About the L92 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section L92 covers granulomatous disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, a group of inflammatory conditions characterized by granuloma formation. These codes are used to classify and describe various specific diseases that involve granuloma development affecting the skin and underlying tissue.
This section includes codes such as L92.0 for granuloma annulare, which encompasses localized and generalized forms known for ring-shaped skin lesions. The term "granuloma annulare" is key for coders seeking this condition. L92.1 refers to necrobiosis lipoidica, also called necrobiotic or granulomatous types, identified by shiny, yellowish plaques usually on the legs. L92.2 captures granuloma faciale, identified by nodules typically on the face. L92.3 codes for foreign body granulomas, including talc, tattoo, and insect bite granulomas, which occur when foreign materials provoke a granulomatous skin reaction. L92.8 covers other specified granulomatous skin disorders, like umbilical granuloma or sclerosing lipogranuloma, while L92.9 is reserved for unspecified granulomatous conditions. These detailed codes help medical professionals precisely document and bill for these distinct granulomatous skin diseases.
