Other specified noninflammatory disorders of uterus
ICD-10 N85.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified noninflammatory disorders of uterus.
N85.8 encompasses a variety of noninflammatory disorders affecting the uterus that do not fall under more specific categories. These disorders may include conditions such as uterine fibroids (leiomyomas), endometrial hyperplasia without atypia, and other benign growths or abnormalities of the uterine tissue. Unlike inflammatory conditions, these disorders are characterized by structural changes rather than infections or inflammatory processes. Uterine fibroids, for instance, are common benign tumors that can lead to symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms. Endometrial hyperplasia, while often benign, can progress to endometrial carcinoma if left untreated. Accurate coding of these conditions is crucial for appropriate management and treatment planning, as they can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and reproductive health.
Detailed clinical notes including patient history, physical examination findings, and results from imaging studies or biopsies.
Management of uterine fibroids, evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding, and assessment of endometrial hyperplasia.
Ensure clear differentiation between benign and malignant conditions, and document any treatment plans or surgical interventions.
Pathology reports detailing histological findings and any relevant diagnostic criteria.
Evaluation of endometrial samples for hyperplasia or neoplasia.
Accurate reporting of findings is essential for proper coding and treatment planning.
Used when a patient with uterine fibroids undergoes a hysterectomy due to severe symptoms.
Operative report detailing the indication for surgery and findings.
Ensure that the diagnosis aligns with the surgical procedure performed.
N85.8 includes various noninflammatory disorders of the uterus, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia without atypia, and other benign growths or abnormalities that do not involve inflammation.
To ensure accurate coding, provide detailed documentation of the patient's symptoms, diagnostic findings, and any treatments planned or performed. Differentiate clearly between inflammatory and noninflammatory conditions.
