Other benign neoplasm of corpus uteri

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth within the main body of the uterus, excluding the cervix. These benign neoplasms are typically composed of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue, often referred to as fibroids or leiomyomas, but this code is used when the specific type of benign neoplasm is not further specified as a leiomyoma.

This code is appropriate for documenting benign uterine masses when the physician's documentation explicitly states "other benign neoplasm of corpus uteri" or when a benign growth is identified in the corpus uteri but is not specifically identified as a leiomyoma (e.g., "benign tumor of corpus uteri, type unspecified"). It should be used when the location is confirmed to be the corpus uteri and malignancy has been ruled out.

• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies a uterine leiomyoma; instead, refer to the D25.- series.
• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates the neoplasm is benign and located in the corpus uteri.
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the benign neoplasm is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it is an co-existing condition impacting care.
