Benign neoplasm of unspecified testis

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth within the testis, where the specific side (left or right) is not documented. These benign neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a benign testicular mass but does not specify laterality. This is appropriate for pathology reports or imaging studies identifying a benign neoplasm without further detail on the affected testis.

• Avoid using this code if laterality (left or right testis) is documented; instead, use the more specific D29.21 or D29.22.
• Ensure the pathology report or imaging findings explicitly state "benign neoplasm" to differentiate from malignant conditions.
• Do not use for cysts or other non-neoplastic benign conditions of the testis.
