Follicular cyst of right ovary

This code represents a benign, fluid-filled sac that develops on the surface of the right ovary after an egg has been released from its follicle. It is a common type of functional ovarian cyst, typically resolving spontaneously within a few menstrual cycles.

Use this code when documentation specifies a follicular cyst located on the right ovary. This diagnosis is often made incidentally during imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound) or during a gynecological examination. Supporting documentation should clearly indicate the laterality of the cyst.

• Ensure documentation specifies "follicular cyst" and not another type of ovarian cyst (e.g., corpus luteum cyst).
• Always confirm laterality (right vs. left ovary) from the physician's notes or imaging reports.
• Do not use this code for unspecified ovarian cysts; query the provider for specificity.
