Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back

Inflammation of the subcutaneous fat (panniculitis) affecting the neck and back region, coded when the precise spinal site is not documented or cannot be determined.

Inflammation of the subcutaneous fat layer (panniculitis) localized to the occipito-atlanto-axial region — the junction where the occiput meets C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) at the upper cervical spine.

Panniculitis affecting the cervical region of the spine — inflammation of the subcutaneous fat tissue localized to the neck segment of the back, classified under dorsopathies.

Inflammation of the subcutaneous fat (panniculitis) localized to the cervicothoracic region — the junction of the cervical and thoracic spine, roughly C7–T1 — causing dorsal pain in the lower neck and upper back.

Inflammation of the subcutaneous fat (panniculitis) localized to the thoracic region of the neck and back, classified under dorsopathies in ICD-10-CM Chapter 13.

Inflammation of subcutaneous fat (panniculitis) localized to the thoracolumbar region of the spine — the junction zone where the thoracic and lumbar segments meet, roughly T10–L2.

Inflammation of the subcutaneous fat layer (panniculitis) localized to the lumbar region of the back, classified under dorsopathies affecting the neck and back.

Inflammation of the subcutaneous fat tissue (panniculitis) localized to the lumbosacral segment of the spine, classified under dorsopathies affecting the neck and back region.

Subcutaneous fat inflammation (panniculitis) localized to the sacral and sacrococcygeal region, classified under dorsalgia within the musculoskeletal chapter.

Panniculitis affecting multiple sites in the spine across the neck and back regions — inflammation of subcutaneous fat tissue spanning more than one spinal zone simultaneously.
