Benign lipomatous neoplasm of spermatic cord

This code represents a non-cancerous fatty tumor originating in the spermatic cord. These benign growths are typically slow-growing and composed of mature adipose tissue. They are distinct from malignant neoplasms and other types of spermatic cord masses.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a benign lipoma or lipomatous neoplasm specifically located in the spermatic cord. This diagnosis is often made after imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound) and/or surgical excision with subsequent pathological confirmation.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "benign" and "lipomatous" to differentiate from other spermatic cord masses.
• Do not confuse with malignant neoplasms of the spermatic cord (C63.1) or unspecified spermatic cord masses.
• Pathology reports confirming the benign nature and lipomatous composition are crucial for accurate coding.
