ICD10 code of Ollier disease and ICD9 code

Ollier disease, also known as enchondromatosis, is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by multiple benign cartilage tumors called enchondromas. These tumors primarily affect the growth plates of long bones, leading to skeletal deformities and limb length discrepancies. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for Ollier disease, which is Q78.4. This code falls under the category of "Other osteochondrodysplasias" in the ICD-10 coding system. On the other hand, the ICD-9 coding system, which was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10, does not have a specific code for Ollier disease. In ICD-9, enchondromas may have been coded under more general categories such as "Benign neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage" or "Other specified disorders of bone." It is important to consult a healthcare professional or refer to the official coding guidelines for accurate and up-to-date information on coding practices.
