What is the ICD-10-CM code for removal of 180 cm strawberry nevus of left cheek autograft with split-thickness skin graft of 180 cm?

The ICD-10-CM code for a strawberry nevus (hemangioma) is D18.01, but for the procedure itself, you would need to use the appropriate CPT codes for removal and grafting.

Please consult current coding guidelines for the precise procedural codes based on the specifics of the surgery performed.
