Polyp of corpus uteri

This code signifies the presence of a benign, often stalk-like growth originating from the inner lining (endometrium) of the main body of the uterus. These polyps are typically composed of endometrial tissue and can vary in size. While generally non-cancerous, they can cause symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of a polyp located specifically within the corpus uteri. This diagnosis is often made via imaging studies like transvaginal ultrasound or hysteroscopy, and confirmed by pathology reports following polypectomy.

• Differentiate from polyps in other uterine locations (e.g., cervix) or other female genital organs.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "polyp" and not "hyperplasia," as polypoid endometrial hyperplasia is excluded.
• Code any associated symptoms, such as abnormal uterine bleeding, in addition to the polyp.
