Benign neoplasm of right epididymis

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth originating from the right epididymis, a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. These neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states a benign neoplasm or tumor of the right epididymis, confirmed by pathology or imaging. This applies to initial diagnoses, follow-up for surveillance, or prior to surgical excision.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right" to avoid unspecified coding.
• Distinguish from inflammatory conditions (e.g., epididymitis) or cysts of the epididymis.
• Always review pathology reports for definitive confirmation of benignity.
