Granulomatous Mastitis is a rare inflammatory breast condition characterized by non-caseating granulomas. The ICD10 code for Granulomatous Mastitis is N61.1. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD9 code for this condition as it was replaced by ICD10. Granulomatous Mastitis requires proper diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional.
Granulomatous Mastitis is a rare inflammatory breast disease that affects the mammary gland. It is characterized by the formation of granulomas, which are small areas of inflamed tissue. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, although it is believed to be related to an abnormal immune response.
In terms of medical coding, Granulomatous Mastitis is classified under the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10). The specific code for Granulomatous Mastitis is N61.1. This code falls under the category of "Inflammatory disorders of breast" (N60-N63) in the ICD-10 coding system.
In the previous version of the coding system, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Granulomatous Mastitis was classified under code 611.82. This code fell under the category of "Other specified disorders of breast" (611.8). However, it is important to note that ICD-9 codes are no longer in use, as they have been replaced by the more detailed and extensive ICD-10 coding system.
It is crucial for healthcare providers to accurately code and document Granulomatous Mastitis to ensure proper billing, record-keeping, and statistical analysis. The ICD-10 code N61.1 allows for better specificity and classification of this condition, aiding in improved research, treatment, and understanding of Granulomatous Mastitis.
Please note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or coding specialist for specific coding inquiries or concerns.
