ICD-10-CM Code D39.8

Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified female genital organs

Version 2020 Billable Code Diagnoses For Females Only Neoplasm Uncertain Behavior

Valid for Submission

D39.8 is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of other specified female genital organs. The code is valid for the year 2020 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The ICD-10-CM code D39.8 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like lesion of clitoris, neoplasm of clitoris, neoplasm of labia majora, neoplasm of labia minora, neoplasm of round ligament of uterus, neoplasm of uncertain behavior of broad ligament of uterus, etc

The code D39.8 is applicable to female patients only. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient.

The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: adnexa (uterine) ; Bartholin's gland ; broad ligament ; clitoris ; fallopian tube (accessory) ; fornix vagina ; fourchette ; etc

Table of Neoplasms

The code D39.8 is included in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.

Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Information for Patients

Ovarian Disorders

The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. Women have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond.

The ovaries produce and store a woman's eggs. During ovulation, an ovary releases an egg. If that egg is fertilized by a sperm, a pregnancy can occur. Ovaries also make the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. When a woman goes through menopause, her ovaries stop making those hormones and releasing eggs.

Problems with the ovaries include

Ovarian cancer
Ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome
Primary ovarian insufficiency
Ovarian torsion, a twisting of the ovary

Uterine Diseases

The uterus, or womb, is the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. The first sign of a problem with the uterus may be bleeding between periods or after sex. Causes can include hormones, thyroid problems, fibroids, polyps, cancer, infection, or pregnancy.

Treatment depends on the cause. Sometimes birth control pills treat hormonal imbalances. If a thyroid problem is the cause, treating it may also stop the bleeding. If you have cancer or hyperplasia, an overgrowth of normal cells in the uterus, you may need surgery.

With two other uterine problems, tissue that normally lines the uterus grows where it is not supposed to. In endometriosis, it grows outside the uterus. In adenomyosis, it grows in the uterus's outside walls. Pain medicine may help. Other treatments include hormones and surgery.

Vaginal Diseases

Vaginal problems are some of the most common reasons women go to the doctor. They may have symptoms such as

Itching
Burning
Pain
Abnormal bleeding
Discharge

One common problem is vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. Other problems that affect the vagina include sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer. Treatment of vaginal problems depends on the cause.
