Other benign neoplasm of cervix uteri

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth within the uterine cervix that is not specifically classified elsewhere. These benign neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize. Examples include fibroids, polyps, or other benign tumors of the cervical tissue.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a benign neoplasm of the cervix uteri that is not further specified by a more precise ICD-10-CM code. This applies to cases where the pathology report confirms a benign cervical tumor, but the specific type (e.g., leiomyoma, polyp) is either unknown or not separately codable. Supporting documentation includes pathology reports, operative reports detailing excision of a benign cervical mass, or imaging studies describing a benign cervical lesion.

• Do not use this code if a more specific benign neoplasm code for the cervix is available (e.g., D28.2 for uterine leiomyoma, unspecified).
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "benign" to avoid confusion with malignant or uncertain behavior neoplasms.
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the benign neoplasm is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it's an incidental finding or comorbidity.
