Benign neoplasm of cervix uteri

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth originating from the cells of the uterine cervix. These benign neoplasms, such as polyps or leiomyomas, are typically localized and do not invade surrounding tissues or metastasize.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a benign tumor of the cervix uteri, often identified during a gynecological examination, colposcopy, or biopsy. This diagnosis is typically confirmed histopathologically after excision or biopsy.

• Ensure the pathology report explicitly states "benign" for the cervical neoplasm.
• Do not use this code if the neoplasm is described as malignant, in situ, or of uncertain behavior.
• Consider additional codes for symptoms or complications related to the benign neoplasm, such as abnormal uterine bleeding (e.g., 626.9).
