2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B67.69 – Echinococcus multilocularis infection, other sites

What it is

This code identifies infection with Echinococcus multilocularis when the involved location is not one of the more specific sites listed elsewhere. It refers to alveolar echinococcosis in an unspecified or other anatomic site.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have a mass or organ involvement related to parasitic cystic or infiltrative disease, and imaging often supports the diagnosis.

When to use this code

Use B67.69 when the provider documents Echinococcus multilocularis infection and specifies an other site, or when the site is not captured by a more specific code. Confirm the record supports multilocularis, not another Echinococcus species. If the anatomic site is unclear, check documentation before coding.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for infections caused by other Echinococcus species or for a more specific anatomic site code when one is documented. Check documentation.

Coding tip

Verify both the parasite species and the site before assigning B67.69.
