ICD10 code of Elastofibroma Dorsi and ICD9 code

Elastofibroma Dorsi is a rare and benign soft tissue tumor that typically occurs in the subscapular region of the back. It is characterized by the accumulation of fibrous tissue and elastic fibers, resulting in the formation of a firm mass. Although the exact cause of Elastofibroma Dorsi is unknown, it has been associated with repetitive trauma or friction between the scapula and the underlying rib cage.

In terms of medical coding, the ICD10 code for Elastofibroma Dorsi is M72.8. The "M72" category represents other fibroblastic disorders, while the ".8" indicates a specific subtype or variant. This code is used to classify and track cases of Elastofibroma Dorsi in medical records and billing systems.

Prior to the implementation of ICD10, the corresponding ICD9 code for Elastofibroma Dorsi was 728.89. This code was part of the "728" category, which encompassed various disorders of muscle, ligament, and fascia. However, it is important to note that ICD9 codes are no longer in use, as they have been replaced by the more detailed and comprehensive ICD10 coding system.

Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional or medical coder for further information and accurate coding of Elastofibroma Dorsi.
