Other ovarian cyst, right side
ICD-10 N83.291 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ovarian cyst, right side.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on an ovary. The term 'other ovarian cyst' refers to cysts that do not fall into the more common categories such as functional cysts (follicular or corpus luteum cysts). Cysts can arise from various conditions, including endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially leading to the formation of endometriomas. These cysts can cause pelvic pain and may be associated with female genital prolapse, where pelvic organs descend due to weakened support structures. Additionally, fistulas may develop in cases of severe endometriosis or pelvic surgery complications. Ovarian disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can also lead to the formation of multiple cysts. The right-sided designation indicates the cyst's location, which is crucial for treatment planning and surgical interventions. Accurate diagnosis and coding are essential for appropriate management and reimbursement.
Detailed descriptions of cyst characteristics, associated symptoms, and any imaging studies performed.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, abnormal menstrual cycles, or findings on imaging studies.
Ensure that the documentation clearly distinguishes between functional and pathological cysts.
Clear imaging reports detailing the size, location, and characteristics of the cyst.
Ultrasound findings of ovarian cysts in patients with pelvic pain.
Radiologists should provide comprehensive reports that correlate imaging findings with clinical symptoms.
Used when surgical intervention is required for cyst removal.
Operative reports detailing the procedure and findings.
Gynecologists should ensure that the indication for surgery is well documented.
N83.291 is used for other ovarian cysts specifically located on the right side, while N83.20 is for unspecified ovarian cysts. Accurate documentation is crucial to determine the correct code.
