Benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs
Chapter 2:Neoplasms
ICD-10 D28 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs.
Benign neoplasms of the female genital organs can occur in various sites, including the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, and ovaries. These neoplasms are typically non-cancerous growths that may arise from epithelial or mesenchymal tissues. Common types include leiomyomas (fibroids) of the uterus, adenomas of the vulva, and various cysts. Symptoms may vary based on the location and size of the neoplasm, ranging from asymptomatic findings during routine examinations to pain, abnormal bleeding, or pressure symptoms. Diagnosis is often made through imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and histological examination may be required for definitive diagnosis. Management typically involves monitoring for changes in size or symptoms, and surgical intervention may be indicated if the neoplasm causes significant symptoms or complications. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the neoplasm remains benign and does not progress to malignancy.
Detailed descriptions of the neoplasm, including size, location, and symptoms.
Management of uterine fibroids, vulvar lesions, and ovarian cysts.
Ensure accurate differentiation between benign and malignant conditions, and document any imaging or biopsy results.
Histopathological reports detailing the nature of the neoplasm.
Evaluation of biopsies from suspected benign neoplasms.
Clear documentation of the histological type is crucial for accurate coding.
Performed for symptomatic uterine fibroids.
Indicate the reason for surgery and any pre-operative imaging findings.
Gynecologists should document the size and location of fibroids.
Benign neoplasms are non-cancerous growths that do not invade surrounding tissues or metastasize, while malignant neoplasms are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body.
