Information for Patients
Foreign Bodies
If you've ever gotten a splinter or had sand in your eye, you've had experience with a foreign body. A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body.

Nose Injuries and Disorders
Your nose is important to your health. It filters the air you breathe, removing dust, germs, and irritants. It warms and moistens the air to keep your lungs and tubes that lead to them from drying out. Your nose also contains the nerve cells that help your sense of smell.

Questions About 932
Is 932 (foreign body in nose) still a valid code?
No. This code belonged to ICD-9-CM, which the United States retired after September 30, 2015. Claims with dates of service on or after October 1, 2015 must use ICD-10-CM codes, such as T17.0XXA and T17.1XXA.
What is the ICD-10 replacement for 932?
The General Equivalence Mappings list 2 ICD-10-CM candidates for this code: T17.0XXA (Foreign body in nasal sinus, initial encounter) and T17.1XXA (Foreign body in nostril, initial encounter). Each match is approximate, so the right choice depends on what the documentation supports.
What did 932 mean?
In the final ICD-9-CM release, this code described foreign body in nose. It sat in block 932 Foreign body in nose under Injury and poisoning (800–999).
Why does 932 map to more than one ICD-10 code?
ICD-10-CM is more specific than ICD-9-CM. The detail packed into this single legacy code was split across T17.0XXA and T17.1XXA, so the General Equivalence Mappings list every candidate rather than forcing one. The correct target is the one the documentation supports.
