Endometriosis of the left pelvic brim, unspecified depth

This code signifies the presence of endometrial-like tissue located specifically on the left pelvic brim. This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and infertility, and its exact depth of infiltration is not specified in the medical record.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies endometriosis affecting the left pelvic brim, and the physician has not specified the depth of the endometrial implants. This code is appropriate when the laterality is confirmed as left, and the specific anatomical site is the pelvic brim.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" pelvic brim; otherwise, an unspecified laterality code may be more appropriate.
• Avoid using this code if the depth of endometriosis (e.g., superficial, deep) is documented; instead, select a more specific code.
• Confirm the anatomical site is indeed the "pelvic brim" and not another pelvic structure to ensure accurate coding.
