Benign Endometrial Conditions. Unopposed estrogens induce the endometrium to proliferate with variable results that depend on the dose and duration of treatment. These changes range from proliferative endometrium with or without breakdown, to disordered proliferative endometrium, to atypical hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma ( 6 – 10 ).

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).
Atrophic and inactive endometria are defined as those deprived of functionalis and consisting exclusively of thin basalis with a few narrow tubular glands lined by cuboidal indeterminate epithelium showing neither proliferative nor secretary activity (Fig. 1).
89 for Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified body structures is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.
Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition of the female reproductive system. The lining of the uterus (endometrium) becomes unusually thick because of having too many cells (hyperplasia). It's not cancer, but in certain women, it raises the risk of developing endometrial cancer, a type of uterine cancer.
What treatment will I receive for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia? (a) Progesterone: The most effective form of treatment is with progesterone. There is a 90% chance that the cells will go back to normal. This can be given as either a hormone coil (Mirena) that sits inside the uterus, or as tablets.
Endometrial Hyperplasia: A condition in which the lining of the uterus grows too thick. Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia (EIN): A precancerous condition in which areas of the lining of the uterus grow too thick. Endometrium: The lining of the uterus. Estrogen: A female hormone produced in the ovaries.

Significant endometrial pathology was defined as endometrial hyperplasia with or without atypia and endometrial carcinoma, while benign diseases were proliferative, secretory, atrophic, basal endometrium, endometrial polyp, and inflammatory conditions.
Stromal Breakdown. This term describes the endometrial changes resulting from anovulatory cycles. It is probably the most common abnormality found in biop- sies performed for abnormal bleeding in peri- menopausal women.
Among postmenopausal women with vaginal bleeding, an endometrial thickness ≤ 5 mm is generally considered normal, while thicknesses > 5 mm are considered abnormal4, 5.
219.9 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of benign neoplasm of uterus, part unspecified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
References found for the code 219.9 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They are made up of extra cells. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as your body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when your body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
On examination of the uterine corpus, the healthcare provider may observe the following features of Benign Endometrial Hyperplasia:
Benign Endometrial Hyperplasia is caused by various conditions. The treatment depends upon the underlying cause of the condition.
The main complication associated with Benign Endometrial Hyperplasia is an increased risk for endometrial carcinoma. The condition can cause the development of endometrial cancer in 1-3% of women. It has been researched that there is a 3-4 times higher risk for cancer in women undergoing unopposed estrogen therapy.
The condition is also known as Endometrial Hyperplasia without Atypia. It generally occurs due to long-term exposure to estrogen hormone that is not counterbalanced by progesterone hormone (a condition described as unopposed estrogen stimulation)
It generally occurs due to long-term exposure to estrogen hormone that is not counterbalanced by progesterone hormone (a condition described as unopposed estrogen stimulation) A majority of Benign Endometrial Hyperplasia cases are seen in women following menopause.
An abnormal thickening of the endometrium (uterine lining) is noted. Normally it is 5 mm thick, however with endometrial hyperplasia the endometrium is abnormally thicker
Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). The majority of endometrial cancer cases are detected and diagnosed in women aged 50 years and older.

Luteal phase defect is a controversial clinical entity that has been characterized as a failure of the secretory endometrium to fully mature due to a corpus luteum deficiency. Although it has been associated with infertility and recurrent abortion, there is insufficient evidence to support these associations ( 3 ).
In addition to the endometrial polyps described later in this chapter, tamoxifen has been associated with proliferative endometrium, endometrial hyperplasia, metaplasias and carcinomas of endometrioid and non-endometrioid types, and uterine sarcomas ( 13 – 15 ).
Due to the increased risk of endometrial adenocarcinoma associated with unopposed exogenous estrogens, it is uncommon to see the effect of these compounds in an endometrial sample these days; however, it can be occasionally seen in peri- or postmenopausal women who have been treated with exogenous estrogens to control menopausal symptoms such as atrophic vaginitis and hot flashes as well as osteoporosis. The most commonly used estrogen preparations include conjugated estrogens, such as Premarin, and other synthetic estrogens, such as ethinyl estradiol or diethylstilbestrol ( 5 ). Unopposed estrogens induce the endometrium to proliferate with variable results that depend on the dose and duration of treatment. These changes range from proliferative endometrium with or without breakdown, to disordered proliferative endometrium, to atypical hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma ( 6 – 10 ). Patients who develop adenocarcinoma have received at least 2 to 3 years of unopposed estrogen and the highest risk is seen in patients with at least 10 years of unopposed estrogen use. Usually the adenocarcinomas in these patients are of low grade, although high-grade tumors can occur ( 5 ). Estrogen use has also been associated with metaplastic changes.
The tissue obtained in an endometrial sampling tends to be abundant and polypoid. The stromal cells are decidualized with occasional mitotic figures present; the glands are either hypersecretory with vacuolated cytoplasm and luminal secretions or atrophic. The latter can also have vacuolization of the cytoplasm.
Chronic endometritis is typically found in premenopausal patients, although it can be seen in older patients as well, and in most cases is secondary to common bacteria such as streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis, and Escherichia coli and mycoplasma species ( Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum) ( 30 ). Chronic endometritis is usually associated with the postpartum or postabortum period, active pelvic inflammatory disease, an intrauterine device, instrumentation such as biopsy or curettage, cervical stenosis, or the presence of a uterine lesion such as an endometrial polyp, leiomyoma, endometrial hyperplasia, or carcinoma ( 31 ). Although the identification of plasma cells has been considered to be the hallmark of chronic endometritis ( 32 ), the search for these cells at high magnification is prompted by the identification at low magnification of certain features such as stromal edema, spindle-shaped stromal cells that can have a swirled arrangement, patches of increased stromal density, necrosis, patchy inflammatory infiltrate, inflammatory cells in the glandular lumens, and the presence of eosinophils ( Figs. 5.11 and 5.12) ( 33, 34 ). The endometrial glands can be in proliferative phase or secretory phase; the latter is rarely typical for a specific day of the cycle, and more often the extent of the secretory changes differs from gland to gland. The epithelium can have metaplastic changes and reactive atypia (e-Fig. 5.40) ( 31 ). Focal breakdown may be seen. Plasma cells tend to be located around endometrial glands, distended sinusoidal blood vessels, and lymphoid follicles and in the subepithelial stroma ( 31 ). They are characterized by their eccentrically placed nucleus with perinuclear halo and are distinguished from stromal cells with similar features by their clumped clockface chromatin pattern. It is important to be aware that the endometrium of fertile, asymptomatic, healthy women can contain an isolated plasma cell ( 35) and that occasional plasma cells have been described in menstrual endometrium, proliferative endometrium, disordered proliferative endometrium, endometrium with breakdown, endometrium following hormone therapy, polyps, and uterine prolapse ( 32, 33, 36, 37 ). On the other hand, the recognition of plasma cells can be problematic ( 38 ). Although some investigators have advocated the use of special techniques such as histochemical staining for methyl green–pyronin, immunohistochemical staining for immunoglobulin G or syndecan-1 (CD138), and in situ hybridization for kappa and lambda mRNA to improve the detection of plasma cells ( 33, 36, 39, 40 ), these are rarely used in regular practice.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N84.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as N84.0. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
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.
