Benign neoplasm of other specified parts of uterus

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth originating from a specific, but not otherwise classified, anatomical region of the uterus. This includes benign tumors found in areas like the uterine serosa or parametrium, which are distinct from the more common leiomyomas of the myometrium or polyps of the endometrium.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a benign neoplasm of the uterus that is not a fibroid (leiomyoma) or an endometrial polyp, and the specific site is mentioned but doesn't have its own dedicated ICD-9 code. Examples include benign serosal tumors or benign growths of the uterine ligaments. The physician's operative report or pathology report should specify the benign nature and the precise uterine location.

• Ensure the pathology report confirms the benign nature of the neoplasm.
• Distinguish from leiomyomas (218.x) and endometrial polyps (218.0, 218.1, 218.2, 218.9).
• If the specific site is not documented, consider using 219.9 (Benign neoplasm of uterus, unspecified).
