Benign neoplasm of trachea
ICD-10 D14.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of trachea.
Benign neoplasms of the trachea are non-cancerous growths that can arise from various tissues within the trachea, including epithelial cells, connective tissue, and cartilage. These neoplasms may present as solitary lesions or multiple growths and can vary in size and histological type. Common types include papillomas, adenomas, and fibromas. Patients may experience symptoms such as wheezing, stridor, cough, or obstructive respiratory issues, depending on the size and location of the neoplasm. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as CT scans or bronchoscopy, which allows for direct visualization and potential biopsy of the lesion. While benign, these neoplasms require careful monitoring due to the potential for local invasion or transformation into malignant forms, particularly in cases of recurrent lesions. Regular surveillance through imaging and clinical evaluation is essential to ensure timely intervention if changes in the neoplasm's characteristics occur.
Detailed clinical history, imaging results, and treatment plans must be documented.
Patients presenting with respiratory symptoms and confirmed benign tracheal neoplasms.
Ensure clear documentation of the neoplasm's characteristics and any interventions performed.
Documentation of endoscopic findings, biopsy results, and treatment approaches.
Patients undergoing laryngoscopy for suspected tracheal lesions.
Accurate coding of procedures performed during diagnosis and treatment is crucial.
Used for diagnosis and treatment of tracheal neoplasms.
Document indication for procedure, findings, and any biopsies taken.
Pulmonologists and otolaryngologists should ensure accurate coding of the procedure performed.
Common symptoms include cough, wheezing, stridor, and respiratory distress, depending on the size and location of the neoplasm.
Patients should undergo regular surveillance imaging and clinical evaluations to monitor for changes in the neoplasm's characteristics.
