Benign neoplasm of penis

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth or tumor originating from the tissues of the penis. These benign neoplasms are typically localized and do not metastasize to other parts of the body.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a benign tumor or mass of the penis, such as a fibroma, lipoma, or hemangioma, confirmed by biopsy or imaging. It is appropriate for initial diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of such conditions.

• Ensure pathology reports confirm the benign nature of the neoplasm; otherwise, consider malignant or uncertain behavior codes.
• Do not use this code for inflammatory lesions or cysts unless specifically documented as a benign neoplasm.
• Code any associated symptoms or complications, such as pain or obstruction, as secondary diagnoses.
