Specific Coding for Benign neoplasm of other and unsp female genital organsOverview

Non-specific codes like D28 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use D28.0 for Benign neoplasm of vulva

  • Use D28.1 for Benign neoplasm of vagina

  • Use D28.2 for Benign neoplasm of uterine tubes and ligaments

  • Use D28.7 for Benign neoplasm of other specified female genital organs

  • Use D28.9 for Benign neoplasm of female genital organ, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D28: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 2. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Includes

Further defines, or gives examples of, the content of the category.

  • adenomatous polyp
  • benign neoplasm of skin of female genital organs
  • benign teratoma

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 2 (C00-D49) Neoplasms applies to 1,730 codes
  • Functional activity
  • All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
  • Morphology [Histology]
  • Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
  • Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
  • A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
  • Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
  • Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).

Patient EducationClinical

Benign Tumors

Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.

Questions About D28Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs?

D28 is the ICD-10-CM category for benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is D28 a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs need a more specific code from this category, such as D28.0, D28.1, and D28.2.

Can D28 be reported with Q50.5?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on D28 lists "epoophoron cyst (Q50.5)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
