Superficial endometriosis of bilateral pelvic brim

This code signifies the presence of endometrial tissue implants on the surface of the pelvic brim on both sides of the pelvis. These implants are typically outside the uterus, causing pain and other symptoms associated with endometriosis.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states superficial endometriosis affecting the bilateral pelvic brim. This diagnosis is often confirmed via laparoscopic visualization or biopsy.

• Ensure documentation specifies "superficial" and "bilateral" involvement of the pelvic brim.
• Do not confuse with deep infiltrating endometriosis or endometriosis of other pelvic sites.
• Consider sequencing this code with codes for associated symptoms, such as chronic pelvic pain (R10.2).
