Polyp of female genital tract (N84)
ICD-10 code N84 covers various types of polyps in the female genital tract, including those affecting the uterus, cervix, vagina, vulva, and fallopian tubes. These codes are used when documenting and diagnosing polyps that can cause symptoms like abnormal uterine bleeding or discomfort.
The ICD-10 code for polyp of corpus uteri (N84.0) identifies growths such as endometrial polyps, uterine cornual polyps, or polyps of the fallopian tube, often linked with bleeding disorders. For polyps on the cervix, N84.1 is used, which includes conditions like endocervical polyps and cervical fibroids, some related to pregnancy or childbirth complications. Polyps located on the vagina (N84.2) or vulva (N84.3) are also specifically coded, helping to distinguish their location and potential treatment plans. Other genital tract polyps, such as those on the broad ligament or fallopian tubes, fall under N84.8, while N84.9 codes unspecified female genital tract polyps. By referencing these synonyms and specific codes, healthcare professionals can ensure accurate coding and clarity in medical records related to female genital polyps.
Instructional Notations
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.
