Benign neoplasm of unspecified epididymis

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth originating in the epididymis, the coiled tube located at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. The specific side (left or right) of the epididymis affected is not documented or is unknown.

Use this code when diagnostic imaging (e.g., ultrasound) or pathology reports confirm a benign neoplasm of the epididymis, and the laterality is not specified. It is appropriate for cases where the physician's documentation clearly states "benign epididymal mass, unspecified side."

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "benign" to differentiate from malignant or uncertain behavior.
• Avoid using this code if laterality (left or right epididymis) is documented; instead, use the more specific codes.
• Confirm that the neoplasm is indeed of the epididymis and not an adjacent structure like the testis or spermatic cord.
