Benign neoplasm of other specified sites of female genital organs

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth originating from various specified anatomical locations within the female reproductive system, excluding the ovary, uterus, vagina, and vulva. These benign neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize.

Use this code when documentation specifies a benign tumor of a female genital organ not covered by more specific codes, such as the fallopian tube, broad ligament, round ligament, or parametrium. Supporting documentation should clearly identify the benign nature and the specific "other" site of origin.

• Ensure the physician's documentation explicitly states "benign" and identifies a specific female genital site other than ovary, uterus, vagina, or vulva.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific ICD-9-CM code exists for the documented site (e.g., benign neoplasm of ovary).
• Confirm the laterality (left, right, bilateral) if specified in the documentation, although ICD-9-CM often does not provide laterality for benign neoplasms.
