Other noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri (N88)

The ICD-10 code section N88 covers other noninflammatory disorders of the cervix uteri, conditions affecting the cervix that are not caused by infection or inflammation. These codes are used to classify various structural and functional abnormalities of the cervix.

This section includes codes for specific disorders such as N88.0 Leukoplakia of cervix uteri, also known as hyperplasia or squamous metaplasia of the cervix, which describes white patches on the cervix surface. N88.1 refers to old lacerations or scars from healed cervical tears, sometimes affecting pregnancy. Narrowing or blockage conditions like N88.2 Stricture and stenosis of cervix uteri highlight acquired abnormalities such as cervical stenosis or occlusion. The code N88.3 identifies cervical incompetence, a condition linked to infertility or pregnancy loss due to an insufficient cervix. Other codes like N88.4 represent hypertrophic elongation, while N88.8 and N88.9 cover other specified or unspecified noninflammatory cervix disorders, including Nabothian cysts, fibrosis, or cervical mucus dysfunction. Understanding these terms and their synonymous conditions helps medical coders accurately use the ICD-10 code for cervix-related diagnoses without inflammation.

Instructional Notations

Type 2 Excludes

A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

  • inflammatory disease of cervix N72
  • polyp of cervix N84.1

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.

Uterine Inversion

A complication of OBSTETRIC LABOR in which the corpus of the UTERUS is forced completely or partially through the UTERINE CERVIX. This can occur during the late stages of labor and is associated with IMMEDIATE POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE.
