2025 ICD-10-CM code Q50.5
Embryonic cyst of broad ligament.
Medical necessity for intervention is determined by factors like the size and complexity of the cyst, the presence and severity of associated symptoms, and potential complications. Asymptomatic, small cysts may only require monitoring, while larger or symptomatic cysts might necessitate surgical removal.
Diagnosis and management of congenital malformations of the genital organs falls under the purview of specialists like obstetricians, gynecologists, urologists, and sometimes, pediatric surgeons, depending on the specific condition and the patient's age.
In simple words: A fluid-filled sac (cyst) has formed in the broad ligament, which connects your uterus to your pelvis. This cyst developed before birth.
Embryonic cyst of broad ligament. This includes epoophoron cyst and parovarian cyst.
Example 1: A newborn female is found to have an asymptomatic cyst on her broad ligament during a routine ultrasound. The cyst is diagnosed as an embryonic cyst of the broad ligament (Q50.5)., A 25-year-old woman undergoes a pelvic exam for chronic pelvic pain. Imaging reveals a small cyst on her broad ligament. After further investigation, the cyst is determined to be an epoophoron cyst, a type of embryonic cyst of the broad ligament (Q50.5)., A 40-year-old woman presents with a large, complex cyst on her broad ligament. After surgical removal and pathological examination, the cyst is diagnosed as a parovarian cyst, a subtype of embryonic cyst of the broad ligament (Q50.5).
Documentation should include imaging findings (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) that confirm the presence and location of the cyst, as well as any relevant clinical findings, such as pelvic pain or other symptoms.Pathology reports should be included if the cyst is surgically removed.
