ICD-10 Code D36.7 – Benign neoplasm of other specified sites (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D36.7 – Benign neoplasm of other specified sites
What it is
D36.7 identifies a noncancerous tumor in a specified site that is not covered by a more specific benign neoplasm code. Use it when the lesion is documented as benign and the anatomic location is clearly stated.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. These lesions are usually described as a localized mass, lump, or growth, with pathology or imaging supporting a benign process and no evidence of malignant behavior.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states a benign neoplasm in an other specified site and no more precise ICD-10 code applies. It is appropriate after biopsy, excision, or specialist assessment confirms benign nature and the site is documented.
If the provider names the exact anatomic location, code that site-specific option instead. When documentation is vague or incomplete, check documentation before assigning D36.7.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant neoplasms, carcinoma in situ, or uncertain behavior lesions. Also avoid it when a more specific benign neoplasm code matches the documented site.
Coding tip
Confirm both benign behavior and the exact site before coding, and choose a more specific code whenever the documentation supports one.
