Other disorders of bone density and structure (M85) ICD-10-CM
The M85 code range covers other disorders of bone density and structure with 226 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 169 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 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the M85 range.
Fibrous Dysplasia of Bone
A disease of bone marked by thinning of the cortex by fibrous tissue containing bony spicules, producing pain, disability, and gradually increasing deformity. Only one bone may be involved (FIBROUS DYSPLASIA, MONOSTOTIC) or several (FIBROUS DYSPLASIA, POLYOSTOTIC).
Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome
Autosomal recessive disorder characterized by HYALINE deposition in the skin, bone, gastrointestinal tract, muscles and glands; multiple subcutaneous skin nodules; GINGIVAL HYPERTROPHY; and joint CONTRACTURES. Mutations in the capillary morphogenesis protein-2 are associated with the disorder.
Melorheostosis
A form of osteosclerosis extending in a linear track mainly through one of the long bones of the upper and lower limbs.
Osteopoikilosis
An asymptomatic, autosomal dominant trait in which pea-sized sclerotic spots, prominent in the metaphyseal area, are accompanied by unique cutaneous lesions. These are yellowish papules or plaques with increased elastin content. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, pp1434-35)
About the M85 Code Range
ICD-10 code M85 covers a group of unique conditions known as other disorders of bone density and structure. These codes are essential for identifying specific bone abnormalities that do not fit into common categories like osteoporosis or osteomalacia.
The ICD-10 codes within M85 include detailed classifications for various bone disorders such as fibrous dysplasia (M85.0), a condition also known by synonyms like Fibrous dysplasia of bone and Monostotic fibrous dysplasia. It specifies affected bone sites like shoulders, arms, and legs. Additionally, codes cover skeletal fluorosis (M85.1), linked to fluoride buildup in bones, and osteitis condensans (M85.3), a localized bone hardening. The section also includes different types of bone cysts—solitary bone cysts (M85.4), aneurysmal bone cysts (M85.5), and other cysts of bone (M85.6). For less common conditions, M85.8 codes specify other disorders with varying bone density or structural changes, including melorheostosis and osteopenia. Finally, M85.9 captures unspecified disorders in this category.
These codes help medical professionals pinpoint and document complex bone diseases accurately, aiding in tailored patient treatment and research. Using synonyms linked to codes like Hyperostosis of skull with M85.2 or Bone cysts with M85.6 guides accurate coding for diverse clinical presentations under M85.
