ICD-10 Code D23.7 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of lower limb, including hip (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D23.7 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of lower limb, including hip
What it is
D23.7 identifies a benign, noncancerous skin growth located on the lower limb or hip. Use it when the documentation names a benign neoplasm of the skin in that anatomic site.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, the lesion is a localized skin mass, papule, or nodule that is stable and not described as malignant or inflamed.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign skin tumor on the leg, thigh, knee, ankle, foot, or hip region. It also fits when pathology or assessment confirms a benign neoplasm of skin in that area. If the site is unclear, check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use D23.7 for malignant skin tumors, uncertain behavior lesions, or non-neoplastic conditions such as cysts, warts, or dermatitis. Check documentation when the lesion type or location is not specifically stated.
Coding tip
Match the code to both the benign nature and the lower-limb or hip site exactly as documented.
