Wiki Scalp Swelling

[poonamsawant]

Can we code 784.2 for scalp swelling?? If not kindly let me know the correct ICD.

Thanks in advance

That appears to be the appropriate code
784.2 Swelling, mass, or lump in head and neck

the only other option would appear to be:
782.2 Localized superficial swelling, mass or lump
(subcutaneous nodules)

Hope this helps,
