2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Billable/Specific Code
- C96.5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
- The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM C96.5 became effective on October 1, 2022.
- This is the American ICD-10-CM version of C96.5 - other international versions of ICD-10 C96.5 may differ.
Applicable To- Hand-Schüller-Christian disease
- Histiocytosis X, multifocal
Type 1 ExcludesType 1 Excludes Help
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as C96.5. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

2023 ICD-10-CM Range C00-D49
NeoplasmsNote- Functional activity
- All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
- Morphology [Histology]
- Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
- Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
- A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
- Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
- Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).

Clinical Information
- A group of disorders resulting from the abnormal proliferation of and tissue infiltration by langerhans cells which can be detected by their characteristic birbeck granules (x bodies), or by monoclonal antibody staining for their surface cd1 antigens. Langerhans-cell granulomatosis can involve a single organ, or can be a systemic disorder.
- A group of rare disorders in which too many langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell) grow in certain tissues and organs including the bones, skin, and lungs, and damage them. Langerhans cell histiocytosis may also affect the pituitary gland (which makes hormones that control other glands and many body functions, especially growth). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is most common in children and young adults.
- A multifocal, unisystem form of langerhans-cell histiocytosis. There is involvement of multiple sites in one organ system, most frequently the bone. Patients are usually young children presenting with multiple destructive bone lesions.
- A neoplastic proliferation of langerhans cells which contain birbeck granules by ultrastructural examination. Three major overlapping syndromes are recognized: eosinophilic granuloma, letterer-siwe disease, and hand-schuller-christian disease. The clinical course is generally related to the number of organs affected at presentation. (who, 2001)
- Group of disorders of histiocyte proliferation which includes letterer-siwe disease; hand-schueller-christian syndrome; and eosinophilic granuloma; langerhans cells are components of the lesions.
