ICD Code L82.1

ICD code L82.1 is other types of seborrheic keratosis, which are non-cancerous skin growths that differ from the common forms of seborrheic keratosis.

1. Presence of well-demarcated, waxy, verrucous, or "stuck-on" appearing lesions on the skin

2. Lesions may vary in color, including tan, brown, or black

3. Lesions may be flat or raised with a rough or smooth surface

4. Occurrence of lesions in atypical locations or with unusual clinical features

5. Absence of malignant characteristics such as rapid growth, ulceration, or bleeding

6. No evidence of underlying systemic disease causing the lesions

7. Patient history and physical examination support a benign, non-inflammatory etiology

8. Lesions do not fit the classic presentation of common seborrheic keratosis
