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 2027, 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
A relatively small nodular inflammatory lesion containing grouped mononuclear phagocytes, caused by infectious and noninfectious agents.
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
These granulomatous disorders affect the skin or the tissue just beneath it. The subdivisions distinguish named disorders from a granuloma associated with a foreign body.
L92.0 identifies granuloma annulare, L92.1 identifies necrobiosis lipoidica, and L92.2 identifies granuloma faciale. L92.3 identifies a foreign body granuloma. L92.8 covers other granulomatous disorders in these tissues, while L92.9 is for an unspecified disorder.
