Corpus luteum cyst of ovary, unspecified side
ICD-10 N83.10 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of corpus luteum cyst of ovary, unspecified side.
A corpus luteum cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on the ovary after an egg has been released during ovulation. These cysts are typically benign and can occur on either side of the ovary, although this code is used when the side is unspecified. The cyst is formed from the corpus luteum, which is the structure that remains after the follicle has released the egg. In most cases, corpus luteum cysts resolve on their own without treatment. However, they can sometimes cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, or pressure symptoms if they grow large. In the context of ovarian disorders, it is important to differentiate these cysts from other types of ovarian masses, such as endometriomas or neoplastic cysts. The presence of a corpus luteum cyst can also be significant in the evaluation of conditions like endometriosis, where the hormonal environment may influence cyst formation. Accurate diagnosis and coding are essential for appropriate management and treatment planning.
Detailed imaging reports and clinical notes describing the cyst's characteristics and any associated symptoms.
Management of ovarian cysts during routine gynecological exams, evaluation of pelvic pain, and monitoring of cysts during pregnancy.
Ensure that the documentation specifies whether the cyst is symptomatic or asymptomatic and any relevant hormonal treatments.
Comprehensive hormonal assessments and imaging studies to evaluate the impact of cysts on fertility.
Assessment of ovarian function in patients with infertility issues and monitoring of cysts during assisted reproductive technology cycles.
Document the relationship between the cyst and hormonal treatments or fertility interventions.
Used to evaluate the presence and characteristics of ovarian cysts.
Include details of the ultrasound findings and any symptoms reported by the patient.
Gynecologists should ensure that the ultrasound report is comprehensive and correlates with clinical findings.
A corpus luteum cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on the ovary after ovulation. It is typically benign and resolves on its own.
Diagnosis is usually made through pelvic ultrasound, which can visualize the cyst and assess its characteristics.
Symptoms may include pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, or pressure symptoms, but many cysts are asymptomatic.
Treatment may be necessary if the cyst is large, symptomatic, or if there are concerns about malignancy.
