Polyp of vulva

This code describes a benign, pediculated or sessile growth originating from the mucosal surface of the vulva. These polyps are typically asymptomatic but can cause irritation, bleeding, or discomfort depending on their size and location. Histologically, they are often fibroepithelial polyps.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates the presence of a polyp located on the vulva. This diagnosis is typically established through physical examination and often confirmed by biopsy or excision. Use this code for both symptomatic and incidentally discovered vulvar polyps.

• Ensure documentation specifies the vulva as the anatomical site; polyps of other female genital organs have different codes.
• Do not confuse with condyloma or other vulvar lesions; a polyp is a distinct morphological entity.
• If the polyp is excised, link this diagnosis code to the appropriate CPT surgical code.
