ICD-10 Code D28.0 – Benign neoplasm of vulva (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D28.0 – Benign neoplasm of vulva
What it is
D28.0 identifies a noncancerous tumor of the vulva. It is used when documentation states a benign neoplasm involving vulvar tissue, without evidence of malignancy.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. A vulvar mass, localized swelling, or a lesion noted on examination may be described, but the diagnosis should be supported by a provider’s assessment.
When to use this code
Use D28.0 when the record clearly documents a benign neoplasm of the vulva, such as a benign vulvar tumor or mass identified as nonmalignant. Apply it after pathology or specialist assessment confirms benign behavior. If the note only says “vulvar lesion,” check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant vulvar tumors, dysplasia, or nonspecific inflammatory or infectious vulvar conditions. If the documentation is unclear about benign versus malignant status, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm the provider’s wording and any pathology report before assigning D28.0.
