Benign neoplasm of penis

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth or tumor originating in the tissues of the penis. These benign neoplasms are typically localized and do not spread to other parts of the body. They may present as palpable masses, skin lesions, or other abnormal tissue formations.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a benign tumor or growth of the penis, such as a fibroma, lipoma, or benign epithelial lesion. This code is appropriate for initial diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of such conditions. Supporting documentation should include pathology reports confirming benignity or a physician's definitive clinical diagnosis of a benign penile neoplasm.

• Do not use this code for malignant neoplasms; refer to codes in the C60 series for penile cancer.
• Ensure documentation specifies the benign nature of the neoplasm; otherwise, query the provider.
• Consider an additional code for any associated symptoms (e.g., pain, discharge) if documented and not inherent to the neoplasm itself.
