Leukoplakia of cervix uteri

This code describes the presence of white patches or plaques on the cervix, which are often benign but can indicate abnormal cell changes. It represents a specific type of epithelial abnormality that may be identified during a colposcopy or other gynecological examination.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states "leukoplakia of cervix" or "cervical leukoplakia." This diagnosis is typically made following visual inspection and may be confirmed by biopsy results.

• Do not confuse with other cervical lesions or dysplasias; this code is specific to leukoplakia.
• Always review pathology reports for definitive diagnoses, especially if a biopsy was performed.
• Consider sequencing with codes for any underlying conditions or symptoms, such as abnormal Papanicolaou smear results, if applicable.
