ICD-10 Code D29.9 – Benign neoplasm of male genital organ, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D29.9 – Benign neoplasm of male genital organ, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies a noncancerous growth in a male genital organ when the exact site is not documented. It is used for benign tumors of male reproductive tissues, but the specific organ is unspecified.
Clinical signs
Findings may include a localized mass, swelling, or an incidental lesion noted on exam or imaging. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially when pathology or procedure notes do not name the organ.
When to use this code
Use D29.9 when the record states a benign neoplasm of a male genital organ but does not identify whether it involves the testis, epididymis, spermatic cord, penis, or another site. It also fits when the provider documents a benign mass and confirms neoplastic origin without further specificity. Code the more specific site if it is documented.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant neoplasms, inflammatory lesions, cysts, or trauma-related masses. Check documentation if the lesion is described only as a lump, swelling, or abnormal finding without confirmation of a benign neoplasm.
Coding tip
Always look for the exact anatomic site first; unspecified codes are appropriate only when the record truly lacks more detail.
