Other endometriosis

This code represents endometriosis located in sites other than the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic peritoneum, rectovaginal septum, or intestine. It signifies the presence of endometrial tissue outside its normal uterine lining, causing inflammation and pain in various atypical locations.

Use this code when documentation specifies endometriosis in unusual or less common sites, such as the bladder, diaphragm, surgical scars, or pleura. Supporting documentation should clearly identify the specific extra-pelvic or atypical location of the endometrial implants.

• Do not use this code if a more specific N80 subcategory exists for the documented site of endometriosis (e.g., N80.0 for endometriosis of uterus).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "other" or specifies a site not covered by N80.0-N80.7.
• Consider sequencing this code after codes for associated symptoms or complications if they are the primary reason for the encounter.
