Benign neoplasm of left ovary
ICD-10 D27.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of left ovary.
A benign neoplasm of the left ovary refers to a non-cancerous tumor that arises from the ovarian tissue. These tumors can vary in size and may be asymptomatic or present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, or changes in menstrual cycles. Common types of benign ovarian neoplasms include serous cystadenomas, mucinous cystadenomas, and dermoid cysts. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans, and sometimes confirmed via histopathological examination following surgical intervention. Management often involves monitoring the neoplasm for changes in size or symptoms, and surgical removal may be indicated if the tumor is large, symptomatic, or if there is uncertainty regarding its nature. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the neoplasm remains benign and to monitor for any potential complications. Regular gynecological examinations and imaging may be recommended based on the individual case.
