A cancer that begins in the endometrium.
In healthcare, diagnosis codes are used as a tool to group and identify diseases, disorders, symptoms, poisonings, adverse effects of drugs & chemicals, injuries and other reasons for patient encounters. Diagnostic coding is the translation of written descriptions of diseases, illnesses and injuries into codes from a particular classification.
The real cause of endometrial polyps is not known. A big role seems to play swings in the hormone levels and especially swings of estrogen levels. It is known that estrogen plays a big role every month in the thickening process of the endometrium. This appears to be also linked with the growth of uterine polyps.
What you can do
What can I expect after an endometrial biopsy? It is normal to have some mild cramping and spotting or vaginal bleeding for a few days after the procedure. Take a pain reliever as advised by your healthcare provider. Aspirin or certain other pain medicines may increase the chance of bleeding.

621.33 - Endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. ICD-10-CM.
The code for endometrial biopsy (58100) specifies “without cervical dilation.” It may not be combined with the code for cervical dilation (57800) because of a CCI edit. The appropriate code to use when the cervix is dilated at the time of endometrial biopsy is 58120 (dilation and curettage).
621.31 - Simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia | ICD-10-CM.
N85. 00 - Endometrial hyperplasia, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous condition that affects cells in the breast. Atypical hyperplasia describes an accumulation of abnormal cells in the milk ducts and lobules of the breast. Atypical hyperplasia isn't cancer, but it increases the risk of breast cancer.
N80. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N80.
Code 57460 includes removal of the exocervix and a portion of the transformation zone, if necessary. Code 57461 represents a conization procedure that takes all of the exocervix, the transformation zone, and some or all of the endocervix.
CPT has two codes for endometrial biopsy: 58100* (Endometrial sampling [biopsy] with or without endocervical sampling [biopsy] without cervical dilation any method [separate procedure]) and 58558 (Hysteroscopy surgical; with sampling [biopsy] of endometrium and/or polypectomy with or without D & C).
"Disordered proliferative endometrium" is a somewhat vague term that generally indicates the unusual growth of endometrial cells. The term can refer to a form of simple endometrial hyperplasia — or the abnormal thickening of the endometrial lining — but it can indicate a more serious problem in some cases.
Endometrial hyperplasia is an abnormal proliferation of the uterine endometrial glands due to effects of estrogen unopposed by progesterone. This condition can be benign or represent a precancerous endometrial lesion.
(HY-per-PLAY-zhuh) An increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue. These cells appear normal under a microscope. They are not cancer, but may become cancer. Enlarge.
Endometrial polyp is also known as endometrial polyp. This excludes cervical polyp NOS (622.7). This applies to polyp: endometrium and uterus NOS.
Endometrial polyps are a mass in the inner lining of the uterus. They can either have a large flat base or be directly attached to the uterus. These polyps are caused by an overgrowth of cells in the lining of the uterus and are usually benign, but in some rare cases can turn into cancer.
A benign polypoid neoplasm of the endometrium projecting into the endometrial cavity. A benign protruding lesion arising either from the endometrial cavity (endometrial polyp) or the endocervix (endocervical polyp). It may occasionally recur following complete resection.
A benign nodular lesion protruding above the surface of the endometrium. It is composed of a fibrous stroma that contains thick-walled blood vessels and dilated endometrial glands. Polypectomy is the treatment of choice. Only few cases with recurrence have been reported.
The ICD code N840 is used to code Endometrial polyp. An endometrial polyp or uterine polyp is a mass in the inner lining of the uterus. They may have a large flat base (sessile) or be attached to the uterus by an elongated pedicle (pedunculated).
Small blood vessels may be present, particularly in large polyps. Specialty: Urology, Gynaecology. ICD 9 Code: 621. Endometrial polyp, viewed by sonography. Source: Wikipedia.
