Hypertrophy of uterus

This code represents an abnormal enlargement of the uterus, often due to an increase in the size of its muscle cells (myometrial hypertrophy). It is a non-neoplastic condition where the uterus is larger than its normal physiological size, excluding conditions like pregnancy or uterine fibroids.

Use this code when documentation indicates a diagnosis of uterine hypertrophy, often identified during a pelvic exam or imaging studies such as ultrasound. This diagnosis is typically made when other causes of uterine enlargement, like leiomyomas or adenomyosis, have been ruled out or are not the primary diagnosis.

• Differentiate from uterine leiomyoma (fibroids), which are coded separately (e.g., 218.x).
• Ensure documentation specifies "hypertrophy" and not simply "enlarged uterus" without further clarification of the cause.
• Consider sequencing if other conditions, such as adenomyosis (617.0), are also present and contributing to the uterine enlargement.
