Other diseases of pancreas (K86) ICD-10-CM
The K86 code range covers other diseases of pancreas with 9 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 7 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 K86 range.
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
A malabsorption condition resulting from greater than 10% reduction in the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes (LIPASE; PROTEASES; and AMYLASE) by the EXOCRINE PANCREAS into the DUODENUM. This condition is often associated with CYSTIC FIBROSIS and with chronic PANCREATITIS.
Pancreatic Cyst
A fluid-filled, epithelium-lined cyst located in the pancreas.
About the K86 Code Range
These conditions include chronic pancreatitis, or long-lasting inflammation of the pancreas, as well as pancreatic cysts, pseudocysts, and other pancreas diseases.
K86.0 identifies alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis; K86.1 identifies other chronic pancreatitis. Separate codes identify a pancreatic cyst (K86.2) and pseudocyst (K86.3).
Other specified pancreas diseases fall under K86.8, which separates exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (K86.81) from other specified diseases (K86.89). K86.9 identifies an unspecified pancreas disease.
