ICD-10 Code D17.72 – Benign lipomatous neoplasm of other genitourinary organ (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D17.72 – Benign lipomatous neoplasm of other genitourinary organ
What it is
D17.72 identifies a benign fatty tumor located in another genitourinary organ. Use it when documentation clearly states a lipoma or similar benign lipomatous neoplasm in a genitourinary site not otherwise classified.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. These lesions are often found as a localized mass on exam, imaging, or pathology, with benign behavior and no evidence of malignancy.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign lipomatous neoplasm arising in a genitourinary organ other than the sites named elsewhere in ICD-10-CM. It is appropriate after imaging, biopsy, or surgical pathology confirms a benign fatty tumor. If the exact organ is not specified, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant tumors, uncertain behavior, or lipomas in non-genitourinary locations. If the record names a more specific genitourinary site, code that specific entry instead.
Coding tip
Code from the final provider diagnosis, and verify the exact genitourinary organ before assigning D17.72.
