Superficial endometriosis of bladder

This code signifies the presence of endometrial tissue abnormally located on the superficial layers of the bladder. This ectopic tissue can cause symptoms such as dysuria, hematuria, and pelvic pain, particularly during menstruation. It represents a specific manifestation of endometriosis affecting the urinary system.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "superficial endometriosis of the bladder" or "endometriosis involving the bladder wall, superficial." This diagnosis is typically confirmed via cystoscopy with biopsy or imaging studies. It is appropriate for both initial diagnosis and subsequent encounters for management of this specific condition.

• Ensure documentation specifies "superficial" involvement; deeper infiltration may warrant a different code.
• Always code any associated symptoms (e.g., dysuria, hematuria) separately, if documented.
• Distinguish from other forms of endometriosis affecting different pelvic organs.
