ICD-10 Code D30.2 – Benign neoplasm of ureter (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D30.2 – Benign neoplasm of ureter
What it is
D30.2 identifies a noncancerous tumor arising in the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. Use this code when documentation clearly states a benign ureteral neoplasm.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have urinary tract obstruction, hematuria, flank pain, or an incidental imaging finding, but the diagnosis should be supported by the provider’s assessment.
When to use this code
Use D30.2 when the record names a benign neoplasm of the ureter, whether found on imaging, endoscopy, or pathology. It may also apply after excision or biopsy if the final diagnosis remains benign. Check documentation if the site is uncertain or if the lesion is described only as a mass or polyp.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant ureteral tumors or for nonspecific urinary tract masses without a documented benign diagnosis. If the pathology or provider note is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the ureteral site only when the provider explicitly documents benign neoplasm; otherwise, query or review the final pathology.
