Other ovarian cyst, unspecified side
ICD-10 N83.299 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ovarian cyst, unspecified side.
N83.299 refers to other types of ovarian cysts that do not fall into the more commonly classified categories such as functional cysts or neoplasms. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries and can vary in size and type. They may arise from various conditions, including endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, leading to the formation of endometriomas. These cysts can cause pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, and complications such as rupture or torsion. In cases of female genital prolapse, cysts may also be associated with structural changes in the pelvic floor. Fistulas, while not directly related to ovarian cysts, can occur in the context of pelvic pathology and complicate the clinical picture. Other ovarian disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may also present with multiple cysts, but N83.299 specifically captures those cysts that do not fit neatly into these categories. Accurate diagnosis and documentation are crucial for appropriate coding and management of these conditions.
Detailed clinical notes describing the cyst's characteristics, symptoms, and any imaging studies performed.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or findings on ultrasound.
Ensure that the documentation clearly differentiates between types of cysts and related conditions.
Clear imaging reports that specify the size, location, and characteristics of the cyst.
Ultrasound or MRI findings of ovarian cysts in patients with pelvic pain.
Radiologists should provide detailed descriptions to aid in accurate coding.
Used when a cyst is aspirated for diagnosis or treatment.
Document the indication for aspiration and findings.
Gynecologists should ensure that the procedure is justified based on clinical findings.
Document the characteristics of the cyst, any symptoms the patient is experiencing, imaging results, and the clinical rationale for the diagnosis.
