Superficial endometriosis of right fallopian tube

This code describes the presence of endometrial-like tissue on the surface of the right fallopian tube. This ectopic tissue can cause inflammation, pain, and potentially impact fertility. It specifically refers to superficial involvement, meaning the endometrial implants are on the outer surface rather than deeply infiltrating the tubal wall.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates superficial endometriosis affecting the right fallopian tube. This is typically diagnosed during laparoscopic examination or other surgical procedures where direct visualization and/or biopsy confirms the location and superficial nature of the endometrial implants.

• Differentiate from deep infiltrating endometriosis of the fallopian tube, which has a distinct code.
• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented (right vs. left vs. bilateral).
• Code any associated infertility or pain conditions separately, if applicable.
