Follicular cyst of left ovary
ICD-10 N83.02 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of follicular cyst of left ovary.
A follicular cyst of the left ovary is a fluid-filled sac that develops on the ovary during the menstrual cycle. These cysts are typically benign and arise from the ovarian follicles that fail to rupture and release an egg. Follicular cysts can vary in size and may cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, or pressure symptoms. In some cases, they may resolve spontaneously without treatment. However, larger cysts can lead to complications such as rupture, which may cause acute abdominal pain and require surgical intervention. The presence of a follicular cyst can also complicate the diagnosis of other ovarian disorders, such as endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), making accurate coding essential for proper management and treatment. Clinicians must differentiate between benign cysts and more serious conditions, including ovarian tumors, to ensure appropriate care.
Detailed description of the cyst, including size, symptoms, and imaging results.
Routine gynecological exams revealing cysts, management of cyst-related pain, and follow-up on cyst resolution.
Ensure that all imaging studies are documented and correlate with clinical findings.
Clear imaging reports detailing the size, location, and characteristics of the cyst.
Ultrasound evaluations of pelvic pain or abnormal menstrual cycles.
Radiologists should provide comprehensive reports to assist in accurate coding.
Used to evaluate the size and characteristics of the cyst.
Document the findings of the ultrasound, including size and location of the cyst.
Radiologists should ensure clarity in reporting to assist in accurate coding.
Common symptoms include pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, and irregular menstrual cycles. However, many cysts are asymptomatic and may be discovered incidentally during imaging.
