Benign neoplasm of penis
ICD-10 D29.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of penis.
Benign neoplasms of the penis are non-cancerous growths that can arise from various tissues within the penile structure, including the skin, connective tissue, and vascular tissue. Common types of benign neoplasms include penile fibromas, lipomas, and condylomas (warts). These growths may present as solitary or multiple lesions and can vary in size and appearance. While benign, they can cause discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or complications such as obstruction of urinary flow or sexual dysfunction. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, and in some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the benign nature of the lesion. Management often includes monitoring, surgical excision, or other interventions depending on the size, location, and symptoms associated with the neoplasm. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the neoplasm does not recur and to monitor for any changes that may indicate malignancy. Education on self-examination and awareness of changes in the genital area is also important for patients.
Detailed descriptions of the neoplasm's characteristics, size, location, and any symptoms experienced by the patient.
Evaluation of a patient presenting with a penile lesion, management of benign growths, and follow-up after excision.
Urologists must ensure that any surgical interventions are well-documented, including indications for surgery and post-operative care.
Photographic evidence of lesions, detailed descriptions of the morphology of the neoplasm, and any associated symptoms.
Assessment of skin lesions on the penis, treatment of condylomas, and monitoring for changes in benign lesions.
Dermatologists should document any treatments provided, including topical therapies or cryotherapy, and the patient's response to treatment.
Used when a benign neoplasm is surgically excised.
Operative report detailing the procedure, indication for surgery, and post-operative care.
Urologists should ensure that the excision is documented with clear indications and follow-up plans.
Common symptoms include the presence of a lump or growth, discomfort, or changes in the appearance of the penis. Many benign neoplasms are asymptomatic and may be discovered incidentally during examinations.
Treatment options vary based on the type and symptoms of the neoplasm. Options include observation, surgical excision, or other interventions such as cryotherapy for condylomas.
