Spermatocele of epididymis, single

This code identifies a solitary, benign, fluid-filled cyst located within the epididymis, which contains spermatozoa. It is a non-cancerous condition resulting from the dilation of epididymal tubules, typically presenting as a palpable scrotal mass.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of a single spermatocele specifically affecting the epididymis. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing physical examination findings, ultrasound reports confirming a solitary epididymal cyst, and the absence of other testicular or paratesticular masses.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "single" to differentiate from multiple spermatoceles.
• Distinguish from hydrocele (N43.3-) or other testicular cysts (N50.89).
• Confirm the location is explicitly the epididymis; if unspecified, query the provider.
