Leiomyoma of uterus (D25)

ICD-10 code D25 covers various types of leiomyoma of the uterus, commonly known as uterine fibroids. These benign tumors of the uterus are coded specifically based on location, which helps in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

This section includes codes like D25.0 for submucous leiomyoma, D25.1 for intramural leiomyoma, and D25.2 for subserosal leiomyoma. These terms often overlap with synonyms such as abnormal uterine bleeding due to fibroids, benign neoplasm of the myometrium, or pseudo broad ligament fibroid, which clarifies the use of the correct ICD-10 code for specific uterine fibroid types. The unspecified code, D25.9, applies when the exact location or type is not determined and relates to broader presentations including fibroids affecting pregnancy or causing symptoms like hemorrhage.

These details assist healthcare professionals and coders in selecting the precise ICD-10 code for uterine leiomyomas, ensuring clear documentation of the fibroid type involved, which is essential for case management, reporting, and clinical communication.
