ICD-10 Code D14.1 – Benign neoplasm of larynx (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D14.1 – Benign neoplasm of larynx
What it is
D14.1 identifies a noncancerous tumor of the larynx. It is used when documentation confirms a benign neoplasm arising in the voice box.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include hoarseness, voice change, throat discomfort, or a visible laryngeal mass on examination or laryngoscopy.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign tumor of the larynx and the lesion is not described as malignant or in situ. It may also apply after biopsy or endoscopic evaluation confirms benign neoplasm. Check documentation if the site is only suspected.
Do not use for
Do not use D14.1 for malignant, in situ, or unspecified laryngeal lesions. If the record does not clearly state a benign neoplasm, check documentation before assigning this code.
Coding tip
Verify the exact anatomic site and pathology wording, because “laryngeal mass” alone is not enough to code D14.1.
