Has anyone been able to find a code for Mucous Cyst?

ICD-10 does not appear to have a specific code for it.
I was thinking of going with "Epidermal" cyst, since the cyst being excised technically is in the skin (as opposed to a joint/ or bone cyst).

But I thought ICD-10 was supposed to be MORE specific, but in this case it would appear not to be.

Am I missing something?
 
The alpha listing for cyst states:
Cyst (colloid) (mucous) (simple) (retention)
Then you need to look under your location epidermoid is skin. But you need to documentation to be specific.
 
Digital Mucous Cyst - Finger

Thank you:)
