ICD-10 Code D86.3 – Sarcoidosis of skin (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D86.3 – Sarcoidosis of skin
What it is
D86.3 identifies sarcoidosis involving the skin. Use it when granulomatous skin disease is documented as part of sarcoidosis.
Clinical signs
Skin findings may include papules, plaques, nodules, or lupus pernio. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically states cutaneous sarcoidosis or sarcoidosis of skin. It may be assigned when the skin manifestation is the documented focus of care. If sarcoidosis is present without skin involvement, choose a different code.
Do not use for
Do not use D86.3 for nonspecific rashes, dermatitis, or other granulomatous skin disorders without sarcoidosis. Check documentation if the site of sarcoid involvement is unclear.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider links the skin lesion to sarcoidosis before assigning D86.3.
