ICD-10 Code L92.8 – Other granulomatous disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L92.8 – Other granulomatous disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
What it is
This code identifies granulomatous inflammation affecting the skin or subcutaneous tissue that does not fit a more specific category. Use it when the record documents an “other” granulomatous skin disorder.
Clinical signs
Findings may include firm papules, nodules, or plaques with chronic inflammatory changes. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the specific granulomatous pattern and site involved.
When to use this code
Use L92.8 when the clinician documents a granulomatous disorder of the skin or subcutaneous tissue and no more specific ICD-10-CM code applies. It is appropriate when the note clearly supports a granulomatous process but names an “other” or unspecified type. Check documentation if the diagnosis is only suspected.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for granulomatous disorders with a more specific ICD-10-CM diagnosis, or for non-granulomatous skin lesions. If the record does not clearly identify the condition, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the documented diagnosis exactly and confirm that no more specific granulomatous skin code is available before assigning L92.8.
