    ICD-10-CM Code For Benign Neoplasm Of Middle Ear And Respiratory System: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group D14 includes benign neoplasms of the middle ear, nasal cavities, sinuses, larynx, trachea, bronchus, and other respiratory structures, covering nonmalignant tumors and localized growths in these sites. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical encounters involving benign airway or middle ear masses, capturing site-specific involvement and clinical complexity such as obstruction or functional impairment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM D14 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM D14: Benign Neoplasm Of Middle Ear And Respiratory System Overview

    This group represents benign tumors arising in the middle ear, nasal cavities, sinuses, larynx, trachea, and bronchus, and other parts of the respiratory tract. These diagnoses target the otolaryngologic and respiratory systems and include nonmalignant growths that may cause obstruction, hearing changes, or respiratory symptoms. Accurate coding matters for appropriate claim processing and to reflect the clinical reason for encounters and procedures.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when a clinician documents a benign neoplasm of the middle ear or any specified respiratory site as the primary reason for the encounter, treatment, or procedure. Codes from this group are applicable when the diagnosis is confirmed by clinical, endoscopic, or pathologic evaluation and the lesion is nonmalignant.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • An adult presents to the otolaryngology clinic with months of unilateral conductive hearing loss, episodic ear fullness, and intermittent otorrhea. Otoscopic exam reveals a pale, non-tender mass behind the tympanic membrane and audiometry shows a conductive hearing loss; imaging confirms a localized benign tumor confined to the middle ear. A benign neoplasm diagnosis from this group is assigned to describe a noninvasive middle ear growth causing conductive symptoms. Typical codes: D14.0
    • A child is evaluated for chronic nasal obstruction, persistent rhinorrhea, and snoring that have worsened over a school year; nasal endoscopy identifies a pedunculated benign mass arising from the nasal cavity obstructing the choana. The lesion is biopsied and pathology confirms a benign neoplasm of the respiratory mucosa requiring surgical removal to restore airway patency and resolve sleep-disordered breathing. Typical codes: D14.3, D14.31
    • An elderly patient with a history of head and neck radiation presents with progressive hoarseness and new focal airway compromise; laryngoscopy finds a well-circumscribed submucosal nodule on the vocal cord causing partial glottic obstruction. Because the lesion is nonmalignant but clinically significant as a comorbidity contributing to airway symptoms and dysphonia, a benign respiratory tract neoplasm code from this group is used to document the finding. Typical codes: D14.2, D14.32
