Other benign neoplasm of connective and other soft tissue of pelvis

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth originating from the connective tissues (e.g., fat, fibrous tissue, muscle) or other soft tissues within the pelvic region. These benign neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a benign tumor of soft tissue or connective tissue located in the pelvis, such as a lipoma, fibroma, or leiomyoma (non-uterine). This code is appropriate when the specific type of benign neoplasm is known to be of connective or soft tissue origin and its location is clearly within the pelvis.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the neoplasm is benign and located in the pelvis.
• Avoid using this code if the neoplasm is malignant or if a more specific benign code for a particular pelvic organ (e.g., uterine fibroid) is available.
• Review pathology reports carefully to confirm the benign nature and tissue origin of the neoplasm.
