ICD-10 Code L94 – Other localized connective tissue disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L94 – Other localized connective tissue disorders
What it is
L94 identifies localized disorders of connective tissue that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. Use it when the record describes a localized connective tissue condition, but the exact subtype is not documented.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include localized skin or soft-tissue thickening, tightening, or induration, depending on the specific disorder recorded.
When to use this code
Use L94 when the clinician documents an other localized connective tissue disorder and does not name a more specific diagnosis. It is appropriate when the chart supports a localized connective tissue process, but the subtype remains unspecified. If the note identifies a distinct condition with its own code, use that code instead.
Do not use for
Do not use L94 for generalized connective tissue diseases or for a clearly documented, more specific localized disorder. Check documentation if the condition is named elsewhere in the record.
Coding tip
Choose the most specific documented connective tissue diagnosis first; use L94 only when the record supports a localized disorder but lacks a more precise code.
