Benign neoplasm of male genital organs (D29)

The ICD-10 code section D29 is used to classify benign neoplasms of male genital organs. These codes identify non-cancerous tumors affecting various parts of the male reproductive system such as the penis, prostate, testis, epididymis, and scrotum.

This section includes specific codes like D29.0 for benign neoplasm of the penis, which covers conditions known as pearly penile papules or benign tumors of the corpus cavernosum. For prostate-related tumors, D29.1 captures benign adenomas and fibromas. Testicular benign tumors are classified under codes like D29.20 for unspecified testis and D29.21/D29.22 for right or left testis, respectively, also including benign teratomas. Epididymis tumors fall under D29.3 and its subcodes, such as adenomatoid tumors. Scrotal tumors, including angiokeratomas and dartoic myomas, are coded under D29.4. Other rare benign tumors of male genital organs, like those of the seminal vesicle or spermatic cord, are coded as D29.8. When the exact location is unknown, D29.9 is used. Understanding these distinctions helps in accurate coding of benign male genital neoplasms for clinical and billing purposes.

Clinical Terms

The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.

Epididymis

The convoluted cordlike structure attached to the posterior of the TESTIS. Epididymis consists of the head (caput), the body (corpus), and the tail (cauda). A network of ducts leaving the testis joins into a common epididymal tubule proper which provides the transport, storage, and maturation of SPERMATOZOA.

Foreskin

The double-layered skin fold that covers the GLANS PENIS, the head of the penis.

Rhabdomyoma

A benign tumor derived from striated muscle. It is extremely rare, generally occurring in the tongue, neck muscles, larynx, uvula, nasal cavity, axilla, vulva, and heart. These tumors are treated by simple excision. (Dorland, 27th ed; DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1354)

Spermatic Cord

Either of a pair of tubular structures formed by DUCTUS DEFERENS; ARTERIES; VEINS; LYMPHATIC VESSELS; and nerves. The spermatic cord extends from the deep inguinal ring through the INGUINAL CANAL to the TESTIS in the SCROTUM.

Spermatic Cord Torsion

The twisting of the SPERMATIC CORD due to an anatomical abnormality that left the TESTIS mobile and dangling in the SCROTUM. The initial effect of testicular torsion is obstruction of venous return. Depending on the duration and degree of cord rotation, testicular symptoms range from EDEMA to interrupted arterial flow and testicular pain. If blood flow to testis is absent for 4 to 6 h, SPERMATOGENESIS may be permanently lost.

Sterilization Reversal

Procedures to reverse the effect of REPRODUCTIVE STERILIZATION and to regain fertility. Reversal procedures include those used to restore the flow in the FALLOPIAN TUBE or the VAS DEFERENS.

Vas Deferens

The excretory duct of the testes that carries SPERMATOZOA. It rises from the SCROTUM and joins the SEMINAL VESICLES to form the ejaculatory duct.
