ICD-10 Code B67.39 – Echinococcus granulosus infection, other sites (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B67.39 – Echinococcus granulosus infection, other sites
What it is
This code identifies hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus when the parasite involves a site other than the liver, lung, or other specifically named locations. Use it for a documented Echinococcus granulosus infection in an unspecified “other” site.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have a mass effect, pain, or organ-specific symptoms depending on cyst location, and imaging often shows a cystic lesion consistent with hydatid disease.
When to use this code
Use B67.39 when the provider documents Echinococcus granulosus infection in an “other site” and the record does not support a more specific anatomic code. It also fits when the site is clearly outside the liver or lung but still identified as hydatid disease. Check documentation if the site is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for liver or lung involvement when a more specific Echinococcus code applies. Do not assign it if the note only says “suspected” infection without confirmation.
Coding tip
Confirm the exact anatomic site in the imaging or operative note before selecting this code.
