ICD-10 Code D16.8 – Benign neoplasm of pelvic bones, sacrum and coccyx (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D16.8 – Benign neoplasm of pelvic bones, sacrum and coccyx
What it is
This code identifies a noncancerous tumor arising in the pelvic bones, sacrum, or coccyx. Use it when documentation states a benign bone neoplasm in these sites.
Clinical signs
Findings may include localized pain, swelling, or an incidental imaging lesion in the pelvic or sacral bones. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use D16.8 when the provider documents a benign neoplasm specifically involving the pelvic bones, sacrum, or coccyx. It is appropriate for confirmed benign bone tumors at these locations, including pathology or imaging-supported diagnoses. Check documentation if the site is described only broadly as the pelvis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant bone tumors, metastatic disease, or unspecified pelvic masses without a benign bone neoplasm diagnosis. Check documentation when the lesion’s exact origin is unclear.
Coding tip
Verify that the record names both the benign nature and the anatomic site before assigning D16.8.
