Other specified disorders of breast
ICD-10 N64.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified disorders of breast.
N64.89 encompasses a variety of benign breast disorders that do not fall under more specific categories. This includes conditions such as benign breast disease, which may present as fibrocystic changes, breast lumps, or other non-cancerous growths. Mastitis, an inflammation of breast tissue, can occur in lactating women and may lead to infection, requiring careful diagnosis and management. Breast hypertrophy refers to excessive breast tissue growth, which can cause physical discomfort and psychological distress. Nipple discharge, which can be physiological or pathological, may indicate underlying conditions that require further investigation. Imaging considerations, such as mammography or ultrasound, are crucial in evaluating these disorders to rule out malignancy and guide treatment. Accurate coding of these conditions is essential for appropriate management and reimbursement.
