Other ovarian cyst, unspecified side

This code signifies the presence of an uncharacterized fluid-filled sac within the ovary, where the specific type of cyst (e.g., follicular, corpus luteum, endometrioma) is not documented. It indicates an ovarian cyst that does not fall into more specific categories and for which the affected side is unknown or not specified.

Use this code when medical record documentation confirms an ovarian cyst but lacks further specificity regarding its nature or laterality. This is appropriate when imaging reports or physician notes simply state "ovarian cyst, unspecified" or "other ovarian cyst" without additional details.

• Avoid using this code if the specific type of ovarian cyst (e.g., follicular, corpus luteum) is documented; instead, use the more specific N83.0- or N83.1- codes.
• Do not use this code if the laterality is known (left or right); instead, use N83.291 or N83.292.
• Always query the provider for more specific information regarding the type and laterality of the cyst if possible, to allow for more precise coding.
