Benign neoplasm of unspecified ovary
ICD-10 D27.9 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of unspecified ovary.
A benign neoplasm of the ovary refers to a non-cancerous tumor that arises from the ovarian tissue. These tumors can vary in size and may be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, or changes in menstrual cycles. Common types of benign ovarian neoplasms include cystadenomas, dermoid cysts, and fibromas. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and in some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the benign nature of the tumor. Management often includes monitoring the tumor for changes in size or symptoms, and surgical intervention may be necessary if the neoplasm causes significant discomfort or complications. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the neoplasm remains benign and to monitor for any potential changes that could indicate malignancy. Regular gynecological examinations and imaging studies are recommended for ongoing assessment.
Detailed clinical notes including symptoms, imaging results, and management plans.
Patients presenting with abdominal pain, incidental findings on imaging, or routine gynecological exams.
Ensure clear documentation of the benign nature of the neoplasm and any follow-up care.
Imaging reports must clearly indicate the findings and any recommendations for follow-up.
Ultrasound findings of ovarian masses and subsequent imaging studies.
Radiologists should provide clear descriptions to assist in accurate coding.
Used when a benign ovarian neoplasm requires surgical intervention.
Operative report detailing the procedure and findings.
Gynecologists should ensure accurate coding of the procedure based on the diagnosis.
Benign ovarian neoplasms are non-cancerous growths that do not invade surrounding tissues or metastasize, while malignant neoplasms are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body. Accurate diagnosis through imaging and clinical evaluation is essential for appropriate management.
