ICD-10 Code D48.113 – Desmoid tumor of abdominal wall (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D48.113 – Desmoid tumor of abdominal wall
What it is
D48.113 identifies a desmoid tumor arising in the abdominal wall. It is a locally aggressive soft tissue tumor that does not metastasize, but it can invade nearby structures.
Clinical signs
Patients often have a firm, slowly enlarging abdominal wall mass. Pain or discomfort may occur, and imaging or pathology may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a desmoid tumor specifically located in the abdominal wall. It is appropriate for confirmed diagnoses, specialist evaluations, or follow-up visits related to this site. If the site is not documented, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for abdominal wall masses that are not documented as desmoid tumors. Avoid it when the tumor is in another anatomic site or when the diagnosis remains uncertain.
Coding tip
Code the exact anatomic site only when the record clearly states abdominal wall involvement.
