Intramural leiomyoma of uterus

This code signifies a benign tumor originating within the muscular wall (myometrium) of the uterus. These growths, also known as fibroids, are non-cancerous and can vary in size and number, often leading to symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding or pelvic pressure.

Use this code when documentation specifically identifies a leiomyoma located intramurally within the uterine wall. This diagnosis is typically made via imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, or confirmed during surgical procedures like myomectomy or hysterectomy.

• Differentiate from other leiomyoma locations (e.g., submucosal, subserosal) as specific codes exist for each.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states "intramural" to support this specific code.
• If multiple leiomyomas are present with varying locations, code each location separately if specified, or use D25.9 for unspecified.
