Bones, neoplasm, benign (DC 5015)

Body system: Musculoskeletal SystemRegulation: 38 CFR § 4.71a

Diagnostic Code 5015 covers benign bone tumors (non-cancerous growths in your bones). The VA doesn't provide specific rating percentages for this code because benign bone tumors are rated based on how they affect your bone's function and any resulting impairment. Your rating will depend on factors like bone weakness, limited range of motion, or pain, and the VA will use analogous rating criteria from similar musculoskeletal conditions.

Rating levels

  • -1% — A benign (non-cancerous) bone tumor is rated based on the resulting limitation of motion or any structural impairment of the affected joint or limb, under analogous codes per 38 CFR § 4.71a.
