Other diseases of anus and rectum (K62) ICD-10-CM

Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- anal canal
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 K62 range.
Anal Polyp
A non-neoplastic or neoplastic polypoid lesion that arises from the anus. Representative examples include fibroepithelial polyp and squamous papilloma.
Proctitis
INFLAMMATION of the MUCOUS MEMBRANE of the RECTUM, the distal end of the large intestine (INTESTINE, LARGE).
Rectal Polyp
A polypoid lesion that arises from the rectum and protrudes into the lumen. This group includes adenomatous polyps, serrated polyps, and hamartomatous polyps.
Rectal Prolapse
Protrusion of the rectal mucous membrane through the anus. There are various degrees: incomplete with no displacement of the anal sphincter muscle; complete with displacement of the anal sphincter muscle; complete with no displacement of the anal sphincter muscle but with herniation of the bowel; and internal complete with rectosigmoid or upper rectum intussusception into the lower rectum.
About the K62 Code Range
These diseases affect the anus or rectum and include polyps, tissue that slips out of place, narrowing, bleeding, and sores.
The subdivisions distinguish the anus from the rectum for polyps (K62.0 and K62.1) and prolapse (K62.2 and K62.3). Other codes cover narrowing, bleeding, or sores of either site. K62.7 describes rectal inflammation linked to radiation.
Within K62.8, the subdivisions distinguish a healed, nontraumatic anal sphincter tear, anal cell changes, and other specified diseases. K62.9 identifies an unspecified disease of the anus and rectum.
