Solitary cyst of right breast

This code signifies the presence of a single, fluid-filled sac within the glandular tissue of the right breast. These cysts are typically benign and are a common cause of breast lumps, often presenting as smooth, mobile masses.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a solitary cyst identified in the right breast, whether through physical examination, mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. This is appropriate for initial diagnosis, follow-up, or when a patient presents with symptoms attributable to a single right breast cyst.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right breast" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from multiple cysts (N60.09) or diffuse cystic mastopathy (N60.1-).
• If the cyst is specified as inflamed, consider codes from category N60.8 (Other benign mammary dysplasias).
