Benign neoplasm of scapula and long bones of left upper limb

This diagnosis code signifies a non-malignant tumor originating in the bone tissue of the left shoulder blade or any of the long bones (humerus, radius, ulna) of the left arm. These benign growths are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a benign neoplasm located specifically in the scapula or a long bone of the patient's left upper limb. Supporting documentation should include imaging reports (e.g., X-ray, MRI) and/or pathology reports confirming the benign nature and precise anatomical location.

• Ensure the laterality is explicitly documented as "left" for the upper limb.
• Verify the neoplasm is confirmed as benign; do not use for uncertain or malignant diagnoses.
• Distinguish from benign neoplasms of other upper limb bones (e.g., carpal bones, phalanges), which have different codes.
