Hypertrophic elongation of cervix

This code describes a condition where the uterine cervix is abnormally lengthened and thickened, often protruding into the vagina. This hypertrophy can be a congenital anomaly or acquired due to chronic inflammation or prolapse.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "hypertrophic elongation of cervix" or describes a significantly elongated and thickened cervix. This condition is often identified during a pelvic examination or imaging studies.

• Differentiate from cervical prolapse (618.00-618.09) unless the elongation is specifically noted as the cause or a co-occurring condition.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "hypertrophic elongation" and not just a generally enlarged cervix.
• Consider any associated symptoms or conditions, such as prolapse or chronic cervicitis, for additional coding.
