Wiki ICD-9 code

How do you code a Spitz-nevus?

 

[JulesofColorado]

I would look at category 216.

Hi,

A Spitz nevus (also known as an "Epithelioid and spindle-cell nevus," and "Benign juvenile melanoma") is a benign melanocytic nevus, a type of skin lesion, affecting the epidermis and dermis.

So we can code this from 216.9 based on the site.
