Benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs (D28) ICD-10-CM
The D28 code range covers benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs with 6 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 5 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- adenomatous polyp
- benign neoplasm of skin of female genital organs
- benign teratoma
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the D28 range.
Broad Ligament
A broad fold of peritoneum that extends from the side of the uterus to the wall of the pelvis.
Clitoris
An erectile structure homologous with the penis, situated beneath the anterior labial commissure, partially hidden between the anterior ends of the labia minora.
Internal Hernia
A protrusion of an internal abdominal organ through a hole in an anatomical structure such as a muscle or a membrane. For instance, in paraduodenal hernia the SMALL INTESTINE herniates through an opening in the MESENTERIES. It includes intra-abdominal and diaphragmatic hernias. In abdominal hernia a protrusion occurs through a weak spot in the muscle of the ABDOMINAL WALL.
Pudendal Nerve
A nerve which originates in the sacral spinal cord (S2 to S4) and innervates the PERINEUM, the external GENITALIA, the external ANAL SPHINCTER and the external urethral sphincter. It has three major branches: the perineal nerve, inferior anal nerves, and the dorsal nerve of penis or clitoris.
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)
About the D28 Code Range
ICD-10 code D28 covers benign tumors found in various female genital organs that are not cancerous. This section includes specific codes for different locations such as the vulva, vagina, uterine tubes, and other female reproductive structures.
These codes are used to document noncancerous growths like cysts, fibroids, or papillomas in female reproductive anatomy. For example, D28.0 is assigned for benign neoplasms of the vulva and includes conditions commonly known as neoplasms of the labia majora or clitoris. Similarly, D28.1 applies to benign tumors of the vagina, such as vaginal polyps or skin tags. The code D28.2 captures benign neoplasms involving uterine tubes, ligaments, and related tissues, which might be referred to by terms like round ligament fibroid or parametrium neoplasm. For less clearly defined locations, D28.7 and D28.9 describe benign neoplasms of other specified or unspecified female genital organs. This set of codes helps medical coders precisely indicate the type and location of benign growths in female reproductive organs, ensuring accurate documentation and facilitating proper care management.
