Other and unspecified ovarian cyst

This code represents various types of benign ovarian cysts that are not specifically classified elsewhere or when the exact type of cyst is not documented. It encompasses functional cysts, such as follicular or corpus luteum cysts, as well as other non-neoplastic cysts that are not further specified.

Use this code when documentation indicates the presence of an ovarian cyst without further specificity regarding its type, or when the cyst is identified as a functional cyst (e.g., follicular, corpus luteum) or a simple cyst. This code is appropriate when more specific codes for ovarian cysts (e.g., endometrioma, dermoid cyst) are not supported by the medical record.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific diagnosis for the ovarian cyst is available in the documentation.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states "ovarian cyst" or a type of functional cyst; do not assume based on imaging findings alone.
• Consider sequencing this code as a secondary diagnosis if the primary reason for the encounter is related to symptoms caused by the cyst, such as pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.
