Personal history of benign neoplasm of the brain

This code indicates that a patient has a past medical history of a non-cancerous growth in the brain that has been successfully treated or removed. It signifies that the benign neoplasm is no longer present and the patient is not currently undergoing treatment for it.

Use this code when documenting a patient's history of a benign brain tumor that is no longer active. This is appropriate for follow-up appointments after successful excision or other definitive treatment of a benign brain lesion. It helps track the patient's medical history and potential long-term monitoring needs.

• Do not use this code if the benign neoplasm is still present or actively being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the neoplasm was benign and is no longer active.
• Consider co-reporting with codes for any residual neurological deficits if applicable.
