ICD-10 Code D11.7 – Benign neoplasm of other major salivary glands (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D11.7 – Benign neoplasm of other major salivary glands
What it is
D11.7 identifies a noncancerous tumor in a major salivary gland other than the parotid, submandibular, or sublingual glands. Use it when documentation specifies a benign neoplasm in one of these other major glands.
Clinical signs
Findings often include a slow-growing, painless salivary gland mass or localized swelling. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, imaging, and pathology when available.
When to use this code
Use D11.7 when the provider documents a benign tumor of an “other” major salivary gland and confirms it is not one of the specifically named glands. It also fits pathology-confirmed benign neoplasms after excision or biopsy. If the gland site is unclear, check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant salivary gland tumors, inflammatory enlargement, or unspecified salivary gland masses. If the record names the parotid, submandibular, or sublingual gland, choose the more specific code instead.
Coding tip
Verify both benign behavior and the exact gland site in the operative note, pathology report, or assessment.
