Wiki Bone marrow fibrosis

[VickiS]

Where would I find dx code for bone marrow fibrosis? Path report final dx states benign bony tissue and marrow present exhibiting focal marrow fibrosis. Location of bone T10 vertebrae,
history/clinical data is fracture T10.

Could you use 289.83?

After reading a description of myelofibrosis (289.83), http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/myelofibrosis, I would check with my pathologist before using this code for this patient.
