ICD-10 Code for Leukoderma
The ICD-10-CM code for leukoderma is L81.5 — Leukoderma, not elsewhere classified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for leukoderma with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
L81.5 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which leukoderma code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 3 codes under Leukoderma, leukodermia NEC. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
By type
| syphilitic | A51.39 | Other secondary syphilis of skin |
Leukoderma syphilitic
| late | A52.79 | Other symptomatic late syphilis |
Index terms and codes are reproduced from the official ICD-10-CM FY2027 release. The Alphabetic Index is a finding aid — a code must always be verified in the Tabular List before it is reported. Data sources
