ICD-10 Code D29.4 – Benign neoplasm of scrotum (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D29.4 – Benign neoplasm of scrotum
What it is
This code identifies a noncancerous growth located on the scrotum. It is used when documentation states a benign neoplasm of the scrotal skin or tissue.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include a localized, well-defined scrotal mass or lesion that is not described as malignant or infectious.
When to use this code
Use D29.4 when the provider documents a benign tumor of the scrotum, such as a confirmed nonmalignant neoplasm. Code it when the record clearly identifies the scrotum as the site and does not describe another diagnosis. If pathology or the note is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant scrotal tumors, inflammatory lesions, cysts, or trauma-related swelling. If the lesion is not documented as benign neoplasm, verify the diagnosis first.
Coding tip
Code the confirmed site and behavior exactly as documented; if the record only says “scrotal mass,” you need clarification before assigning D29.4.
