Anomalies of ovaries

This code signifies congenital malformations or developmental abnormalities affecting the ovaries. These can include conditions such as ovarian agenesis (absence), hypoplasia (underdevelopment), or dysgenesis (abnormal development), impacting their structure and function from birth.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a congenital anomaly of the ovaries, often identified during infancy, childhood, or adolescence due to reproductive or endocrine issues. Supporting documentation would include genetic testing results, imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, MRI), and clinical findings consistent with ovarian developmental defects.

• Differentiate from acquired ovarian conditions like cysts or tumors, which are coded elsewhere.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis if the ovarian anomaly is the main reason for the encounter.
• Look for specific terms like "agenesis," "hypoplasia," "dysgenesis," or "congenital malformation of ovary" in the medical record.
