Benign neoplasm of fallopian tube and uterine ligaments

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous tumor originating in the fallopian tubes or the supporting ligaments of the uterus. These benign growths are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize to other parts of the body.

Use this code when diagnostic imaging (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) or surgical pathology confirms a benign neoplasm in the fallopian tube or uterine ligaments. Documentation should clearly state the benign nature and the specific anatomical location.

• Differentiate carefully between benign and malignant neoplasms; malignant tumors of these structures have distinct codes.
• Ensure the documentation specifies either the fallopian tube or uterine ligament, as other adnexal structures have different codes.
• Do not use this code for benign neoplasms of the ovary or uterus itself, as these are coded elsewhere.
