Don't let the '180 cm' remark fool you here. A strawberry nevus is a benign neoplasm. So it should be coded as Removal, Benign Lesion, with the add on code to indicate it was larger than 4cm and the LT modifier: 11440 LT; 11446 LT
A strawberry nevus is a benign organism, and so can be coded as a removal. The code number used could be 15120 or 15121.
The CPT code for the removal of a nevus with a split-thickness skin graft would depend on specific details, but typically, the removal of a nevus would use codes from the range 11600-11646, depending on the size and location. For the split-thickness skin graft, you would likely use 15100-15102, depending on the area being grafted. It is important to consult the latest CPT coding guidelines or a coding professional to ensure accuracy based on the specifics of the procedure.
The ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes are both 86.60. CPT codes 15120, 11446 and 15121 can also be used to specify the exact procedure.
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. The removal of the nevus and the autograft procedure would be coded using specific procedural codes rather than a single ICD-10-CM code. Please consult current coding guidelines for the precise procedural codes based on the specifics of the surgery performed.

The ICD-10 code for the removal of a strawberry nevus, also known as a hemangioma, is typically classified under "D18.09" for other hemangiomas. However, the specific procedure code for the removal would fall under the CPT codes rather than ICD-10, which primarily focuses on diagnosis. For accurate coding, it's essential to consult specific coding guidelines or a coding specialist based on the method of removal.
Nevus is the medical term meaning birthmark; the plural form is nevi.
The CPT code for the removal of a strawberry nevus (hemangioma) with an autograft using a split-thickness skin graft is typically 17106 for the excision of a benign skin lesion, plus an additional code for the skin graft procedure. The specific code for the split-thickness skin graft would be 15100 for the first 100 cm² or less, and 15101 for each additional 100 cm² or less. Therefore, the final coding might include 17106, 15100, and 15101, depending on the exact size and details of the procedure. Always verify with the latest CPT code updates and guidelines.
BNA stands for "Branchial Nevus with Antrochoanal polyp." This condition involves the presence of a polyp (growth) in the nose which is connected to a branchial nevus (a type of skin lesion occurring in the head or neck region). It typically requires surgical intervention for removal.
Nevus if it is noncancerous (it's also used for birthmarks) Nevus pigmentosus or macula
"Nevus" suena más a latín; en todo caso sería un apellido.
