Unspecified ovarian cyst, right side
ICD-10 N83.201 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified ovarian cyst, right side.
An unspecified ovarian cyst on the right side refers to a fluid-filled sac that develops on the right ovary. These cysts are common and often benign, arising from the normal functioning of the ovaries during the menstrual cycle. They can be classified into functional cysts, such as follicular and corpus luteum cysts, or non-functional cysts, which may include dermoid cysts or endometriomas. While many ovarian cysts resolve spontaneously without treatment, some may cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort, particularly if they rupture or become large. In cases where the cyst is associated with endometriosis, it may indicate the presence of endometriomas, which are cysts formed from endometrial tissue. The diagnosis of an unspecified ovarian cyst typically involves imaging studies, such as ultrasound, to assess the size and characteristics of the cyst. Management may vary based on symptoms, size, and the patient's reproductive plans, ranging from observation to surgical intervention if complications arise.
Detailed patient history, physical examination findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Routine check-ups revealing incidental ovarian cysts, patients presenting with pelvic pain, or cysts found during imaging for other reasons.
Ensure that the type of cyst is documented, especially if there is a suspicion of malignancy or if the cyst is symptomatic.
Clear imaging reports detailing the size, appearance, and characteristics of the cyst.
Ultrasound or MRI performed for pelvic pain or routine screening showing ovarian cysts.
Radiologists should provide comprehensive descriptions to aid in accurate coding and management decisions.
Used when a cyst is aspirated for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
Document the indication for aspiration and findings during the procedure.
Gynecologists should ensure that the procedure is justified based on the patient's symptoms and imaging findings.
Document the patient's symptoms, imaging results, and any relevant history that supports the diagnosis of an unspecified ovarian cyst on the right side.
