Benign neoplasm of scrotum

This code identifies a non-cancerous growth or tumor originating in the scrotal sac. These benign neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize to other parts of the body. They may present as a palpable mass or be incidentally discovered during examination.

Assign this code when documentation confirms a benign neoplasm located specifically within the scrotum. This includes conditions like lipomas, fibromas, or leiomyomas of the scrotal tissue. Supporting documentation should clearly state the benign nature and scrotal location of the neoplasm.

• Do not use for malignant neoplasms of the scrotum; refer to the C63.2 series.
• Distinguish from benign neoplasms of the testis (D29.2) or epididymis (D29.3).
• Ensure the pathology report or physician's diagnosis explicitly states "benign" and "scrotum."
