Benign neoplasm of other specified sites of male genital organs

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth or tumor located on a specific, but not otherwise classified, part of the male reproductive system. These benign neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize to other parts of the body. Examples include benign tumors of the epididymis, vas deferens, or seminal vesicles.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a benign neoplasm in a male genital organ that is not the testis, prostate, penis, or scrotum. This code is appropriate for conditions such as epididymal cysts or adenomas of the vas deferens, provided they are explicitly stated as benign. Supporting documentation should include pathology reports confirming benignity and a precise anatomical location.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the neoplasm is benign; otherwise, a malignant or uncertain behavior code may be more appropriate.
• Verify the specific site of the benign neoplasm. If the site is the testis, prostate, penis, or scrotum, a more specific code within the 222 series should be used.
• Do not use this code for inflammatory conditions or cysts that are not explicitly described as neoplasms.
