Degos Disease is a rare disorder characterized by blood vessel blockages in various organs. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-10 code for Degos Disease. However, it can be classified under ICD-10 code I82.8 (Other specified embolism and thrombosis). In terms of ICD-9 code, Degos Disease is not specifically listed, but it can be categorized under ICD-9 code 444.8 (Other arterial embolism and thrombosis).
Degos Disease, also known as malignant atrophic papulosis, is a rare disorder characterized by the development of small, red, and painful papules on the skin. These papules typically progress to form distinctive porcelain-white lesions with a surrounding red halo. Although the exact cause of Degos Disease is unknown, it is believed to involve vascular abnormalities and immune system dysfunction.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Degos Disease is classified under L95.8. This code falls under the category of "other specified bullous disorders." It is important to note that ICD-10 codes are used worldwide for the classification of diseases and medical conditions.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification system, ICD-9, Degos Disease was not specifically identified as a distinct condition. As a result, there is no specific ICD-9 code for Degos Disease. However, it could potentially be classified under broader categories such as "other specified disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue" (ICD-9 code 709.8) or "other specified diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue" (ICD-9 code 709.9).
It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate coding and classification of specific medical conditions.
