Polyp of labia and vulva

This code describes the presence of a benign, often pedunculated or sessile, growth originating from the labia or vulvar tissue. These polyps are typically non-cancerous and can vary in size and appearance. They may be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as irritation, bleeding, or discomfort.

Use this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of a polyp located on the labia majora, labia minora, or other vulvar structures. This diagnosis is often made during a gynecological examination, colposcopy, or biopsy. Supporting documentation should clearly identify the presence and location of the polyp.

• Differentiate from condyloma acuminata (venereal warts) which are viral in origin and coded differently.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "polyp" and not another type of vulvar lesion, such as a cyst or fibroma.
• If a biopsy is performed to confirm benignity, link this diagnosis to the biopsy procedure code.
