Other congenital malformations of breast
ICD-10 Q83.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other congenital malformations of breast.
Congenital malformations of the breast can encompass a variety of conditions that affect the development and structure of breast tissue. These malformations may include conditions such as accessory breast tissue, breast hypoplasia, or breast agenesis. These anomalies can arise from genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both during fetal development. The clinical presentation can vary widely, with some individuals experiencing no significant functional impairment, while others may face psychosocial challenges or require surgical intervention. Accurate diagnosis often involves imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, and may necessitate a multidisciplinary approach including pediatricians, geneticists, and plastic surgeons. Understanding the underlying genetic syndromes associated with breast malformations is crucial, as these conditions can sometimes be part of broader syndromic presentations, necessitating comprehensive genetic evaluation and counseling.
Detailed growth and development assessments, family history, and any associated anomalies.
Evaluation of breast anomalies in newborns, assessment of psychosocial impact in adolescents.
Consideration of the developmental stage of the patient and potential need for surgical intervention.
Genetic testing results, family pedigree, and syndromic associations.
Genetic counseling for families with a history of congenital breast malformations.
Understanding the genetic basis of malformations and implications for family members.
Used in cases of significant breast malformation requiring surgical intervention.
Detailed operative report and pre-operative assessments.
Plastic surgery documentation must align with congenital diagnosis.
Common congenital breast malformations include breast agenesis, hypoplasia, and accessory breast tissue. Each condition may have different implications for treatment and management.
