Benign neoplasm of duodenum
ICD-10 D13.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of duodenum.
A benign neoplasm of the duodenum refers to a non-cancerous tumor that arises in the first section of the small intestine, known as the duodenum. These neoplasms can vary in size and may be asymptomatic or present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, or gastrointestinal obstruction. Common types of benign neoplasms in the duodenum include adenomas, lipomas, and neuroendocrine tumors. While benign, these neoplasms can sometimes lead to complications, such as bleeding or obstruction, necessitating surgical intervention. Surveillance is often recommended, particularly for larger lesions or those with atypical features, as there is a potential for malignant transformation over time. Regular monitoring through imaging studies or endoscopy may be indicated to assess for changes in size or appearance. The management of benign duodenal neoplasms typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including gastroenterologists and surgeons, to determine the best course of action based on the individual patient's condition and risk factors.
Detailed descriptions of the neoplasm, including size, location, and any symptoms.
Patients presenting with abdominal pain or incidental findings on imaging.
Ensure clear documentation of surveillance plans and any interventions performed.
Operative reports detailing the surgical approach and findings.
Surgical resection of symptomatic benign neoplasms.
Document the rationale for surgery and any histopathological findings.
Used for resection of benign duodenal neoplasms.
Document the indication for the procedure and findings.
Gastroenterologists should ensure clear documentation of the neoplasm's characteristics.
Common symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal obstruction, although many patients may be asymptomatic.
Surveillance frequency depends on the size and characteristics of the neoplasm, but typically involves regular imaging or endoscopy every 6 to 12 months.
