D48.1 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connective and other soft tissue. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic abdomen, abdominal wall [See Also: Neoplasm, abdomen, wall, skin] connective tissue ; Neoplasm, neoplastic adipose tissue [See Also: Neoplasm, connective tissue] ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aorta (thoracic) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aorta (thoracic) abdominal ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aponeurosis ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aponeurosis palmar ; Neoplasm, neoplastic aponeurosis plantar ; etc
Specific Coding Applicable to Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connctv/soft tiss
Non-specific codes like D48.1 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connctv/soft tiss:

Clinical Classification
Clinical Category is Neoplasms of unspecified nature or uncertain behavior
- CCSR Category Code: NEO072
- Inpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default inpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
- Outpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default outpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Clinical Information
Aponeurosis
the flattened and/or expanded “tendon-like” dense fibrous connective tissue that connects skeletal muscles to each other or to bone.Contraceptive Devices, Female
contraceptive devices used by females.Diaphragm
the musculofibrous partition that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the thoracic cavity aiding inhalation.Diaphragmatic Eventration
a congenital abnormality characterized by the elevation of the diaphragm dome. it is the result of a thinned diaphragmatic muscle and injured phrenic nerve, allowing the intra-abdominal viscera to push the diaphragm upward against the lung.Hernia, Diaphragmatic
protrusion of abdominal structures into the thorax as a result of congenital or traumatic defects in the respiratory diaphragm.Hernia, Diaphragmatic, Traumatic
the type of diaphragmatic hernia caused by trauma or injury, usually to the abdomen.Hernias, Diaphragmatic, Congenital
protrusion of abdominal structures into the thorax as a result of embryologic defects in the diaphragm often present in the neonatal period. it can be isolated, syndromic, non-syndromic or be a part of chromosome abnormality. associated pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension can further complicate stabilization and surgical intervention.Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction
myocardial infarction in which the inferior wall of the heart is involved. it is often caused by occlusion of the right coronary artery.Pelvic Floor
soft tissue formed mainly by the pelvic diaphragm, which is composed of the two levator ani and two coccygeus muscles. the pelvic diaphragm lies just below the pelvic aperture (outlet) and separates the pelvic cavity from the perineum. it extends between the pubic bone anteriorly and the coccyx posteriorly.Peritoneal Stomata
natural openings in the subdiaphragmatic lymphatic plexus in the peritoneum, delimited by adjacent mesothelial cells. peritoneal stomata constitute the principal pathways for the drainage of intraperitoneal contents from the peritoneal cavity to the lymphatic system.Respiratory Paralysis
complete or severe weakness of the muscles of respiration. this condition may be associated with motor neuron diseases; peripheral nerve diseases; neuromuscular junction diseases; spinal cord diseases; injury to the phrenic nerve; and other disorders.
New 2024 ICD-10-CM Code
D48.1 is new to ICD-10-CM code set for the FY 2024, effective October 1, 2023. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has published an update to the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes which became effective October 1, 2023. This is a new and revised code for the FY 2024 (October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024).

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connective tissue of ear
- Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connective tissue of eyelid
- Stromal tumors of uncertain behavior of digestive system
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA 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.
Convert D48.1 to ICD-9-CM
- ICD-9-CM Code: 238.1 - Unc behav neo soft tissu
Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Table of Neoplasms
This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.
Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Patient Education
Connective Tissue Disorders
Your connective tissue supports many different parts of your body, such as your skin, eyes, and heart. It is like a "cellular glue" that gives your body parts their shape and helps keep them strong. It also helps some of your tissues do their work. It is made of many kinds of proteins. Cartilage and fat are types of connective tissue.
Over 200 disorders that impact connective tissue. There are different types:
- Genetic disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta
- Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and scleroderma
- Cancers, like some types of soft tissue sarcoma
Each disorder has its own symptoms and needs different treatment.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
