ICD-10 Code D28.9 – Benign neoplasm of female genital organ, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D28.9 – Benign neoplasm of female genital organ, unspecified
What it is
D28.9 identifies a noncancerous growth in a female genital organ when the specific site is not documented. Use it when the record confirms a benign neoplasm but does not name the exact organ.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Benign masses may be found on pelvic exam, imaging, or pathology, and may be asymptomatic or associated with local pressure, bleeding, or a palpable lesion.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign neoplasm of a female genital organ and does not specify whether it is vaginal, vulvar, uterine, or another site. It is also appropriate when the exact organ cannot be determined from the available record. Check documentation before assigning it if pathology or imaging identifies a more specific location.
Do not use for
Do not use D28.9 for malignant or in situ neoplasms, or for inflammatory, cystic, or traumatic lesions. If the site is known, code the more specific benign neoplasm category instead.
Coding tip
Query for the exact female genital site whenever the note says “benign neoplasm” without location.
