Other ovarian cyst, left side
ICD-10 N83.292 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ovarian cyst, left side.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or within an ovary. The term 'other ovarian cyst' encompasses various types of cysts that do not fall under the more common classifications, such as functional cysts (follicular or corpus luteum cysts). Cysts can arise due to several 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, ovarian cysts can be linked to fistulas, abnormal connections between organs, and other ovarian disorders. The presence of polyps in the female genital tract may also complicate the clinical picture, as they can coexist with ovarian cysts and contribute to symptoms such as abnormal bleeding. Accurate diagnosis often requires imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, to differentiate between types of cysts and associated conditions.
Detailed descriptions of cyst characteristics, imaging results, and associated symptoms.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, abnormal menstrual cycles, or findings on imaging.
Ensure clarity in distinguishing between functional and pathological cysts.
Clear imaging reports detailing the size, location, and characteristics of the cyst.
Ultrasound or MRI evaluations of suspected ovarian cysts.
Accurate correlation between imaging findings and clinical symptoms is crucial.
Used when a patient with a diagnosed ovarian cyst undergoes laparoscopic surgery.
Operative report detailing the procedure and findings.
Ensure that the diagnosis aligns with the surgical procedure performed.
Ultrasound is the first-line imaging modality for evaluating ovarian cysts. In some cases, MRI may be used for further characterization.
