Leukoplakia of vagina

This code describes the presence of white, thickened patches or plaques on the vaginal mucosa. These lesions are typically non-tender and can vary in size and shape, representing a hyperkeratotic response of the epithelium. While often benign, leukoplakia is considered a precancerous condition and requires careful monitoring.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "leukoplakia of vagina" or "vaginal leukoplakia." It is appropriate for initial diagnosis, follow-up, and management of this specific mucosal change. Documentation should clearly indicate the location as the vagina.

• Do not confuse with leukoplakia of vulva (624.0) or cervix (622.1).
• Code any associated symptoms or underlying causes separately, if documented.
• Ensure the provider's documentation specifies "vagina" to support this code.
