Benign neoplasm of bladder

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth within the urinary bladder. These benign neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize to other parts of the body, distinguishing them from malignant bladder tumors.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a benign tumor, polyp, or papilloma originating from the bladder wall. This diagnosis is often established through cystoscopy with biopsy, imaging studies, or surgical pathology reports confirming the non-malignant nature of the lesion.

• Ensure the pathology report explicitly states "benign" or "non-malignant" to differentiate from carcinoma in situ or malignant neoplasms.
• Do not use this code for inflammatory pseudotumors or other non-neoplastic bladder lesions.
• Consider additional codes for symptoms (e.g., hematuria) or any associated conditions if documented.
