Vulvar cyst

This code represents a fluid-filled sac or lesion located on the vulva, which is the external female genitalia. These cysts are typically benign and can vary in size, causing symptoms such as discomfort, pain, or a palpable mass.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a vulvar cyst. This includes findings from physical examination, imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound), or surgical pathology reports confirming the presence of a cyst on the vulva. It is appropriate for both symptomatic and asymptomatic presentations.

• Differentiate from Bartholin's gland cysts (N75.x) or abscesses (N75.1), which have specific codes.
• If the cyst is specified as infected, consider an additional code for the infection, if documented.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "vulvar" to distinguish from other genital or perineal cysts.
