Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin, subcu of trunk

This code identifies a non-cancerous fatty tumor originating in the skin or the tissue directly beneath it, specifically located on the torso. These are typically slow-growing, soft, movable masses composed of mature fat cells.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a benign lipoma or lipomatous neoplasm affecting the skin or subcutaneous tissue of the trunk (e.g., back, chest, abdomen, flank). Supporting documentation should clearly state the benign nature and the specific trunk location.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "benign" and "lipoma" or "lipomatous neoplasm."
• Verify the anatomical site is indeed the trunk; differentiate from extremities or head/neck.
• Do not use for malignant liposarcomas or lipomas of internal organs.
