Benign neoplasm of prostate

This code represents a non-cancerous growth of prostatic tissue. It signifies a benign tumor originating from the prostate gland, which does not invade surrounding tissues or metastasize.

This code is appropriate for documented cases of benign prostatic neoplasms, often identified incidentally during imaging or biopsy. It should be used when pathology confirms a benign tumor and excludes hyperplasia or malignancy.

• Differentiate carefully from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a common enlargement, not a neoplasm.
• Ensure pathology reports explicitly state "benign neoplasm" or "adenoma" of the prostate.
• Do not use for prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) without further specification of benignity.
