ICD-10 Code E88.2 – Lipomatosis, not elsewhere classified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E88.2 – Lipomatosis, not elsewhere classified
What it is
E88.2 identifies lipomatosis, a condition marked by abnormal, often diffuse or multiple, deposits of fatty tissue. Use it when the record documents lipomatosis without a more specific named subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical descriptions include multiple soft, fatty masses or generalized fatty overgrowth on examination or imaging.
When to use this code
Use E88.2 when the clinician documents lipomatosis and does not specify a different diagnosis. It may apply to localized or widespread fatty tissue overgrowth when no other code is supported. Check documentation for the exact site and any named syndrome.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for a single ordinary lipoma or for obesity alone. If the record names a specific lipomatosis type or another disorder, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Code only after confirming the provider uses the term “lipomatosis”; otherwise, query or check documentation for a more precise diagnosis.
