ICD-10 Code D14.2 – Benign neoplasm of trachea (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D14.2 – Benign neoplasm of trachea
What it is
D14.2 identifies a noncancerous growth in the trachea. Use it when documentation states a benign neoplasm involving the windpipe, without evidence of malignant behavior.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have airway-related symptoms such as cough, wheeze, stridor, or shortness of breath if the lesion narrows the tracheal lumen.
When to use this code
Use D14.2 when the provider diagnoses a benign tumor of the trachea based on imaging, bronchoscopy, or pathology. It also fits when the record clearly identifies a benign tracheal mass and no malignancy is present. If the site is uncertain, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant tracheal neoplasms, metastatic disease, or inflammatory airway lesions. If the record describes a lesion without confirmed benign behavior, check documentation before coding.
Coding tip
Confirm the exact anatomic site and benign nature in the final report before assigning D14.2.
