Question

using an icd-10-cm code book, identify the main term for the following diagnosis: lipoma on the chest
liposarcoma
chest
lipoma
disease

Explanation:

In ICD-10-CM coding, the main term is the core condition being diagnosed. Here, "lipoma" is the specific abnormal growth, while "chest" is just the location, "liposarcoma" is a different cancerous condition, and "disease" is too general. So the main term is lipoma.

Answer:

lipoma
