Fluid-filled sac in the right ovary or fallopian tube.
Often asymptomatic. May cause pelvic pain, bloating, irregular periods.
Gynecology clinic, primary care, emergency room if ruptured or torsion.
ICD-10 Code Families
Complete code families applicable to N83.201
When to use each related code
| Description | When to use |
|---|---|
| Right ovarian cyst | Fluid-filled sac in right ovary. Use when location is confirmed and other diagnoses ruled out. |
| Right paratubal cyst | Cyst near, but separate from, the right fallopian tube. Use when originating from paratubal structures. |
| Right hydrosalpinx | Fluid-filled right fallopian tube. Use when fallopian tube is dilated with fluid, not a separate cyst. |
Best-practice checklist
- ✓Right adnexal cyst size documented (cm)
- ✓Cyst morphology (simple, complex)
- ✓Symptoms or asymptomatic status noted
- ✓Pelvic ultrasound findings detailed
- ✓Correlation with prior imaging if available
Best-practice tips
- 01ICD-10 N83.2 accurate coding for right adnexal cyst diagnosis.
- 02Precise CDI: document cyst size, type, symptoms for proper billing.
- 03HCC coding: Capture comorbidities for risk adjustment accuracy.
- 04Compliant ultrasound documentation supports medical necessity review.
- 05Timely follow-up scheduling crucial for patient care and compliance.
Step-by-step checklist
- 1
Verify pelvic ultrasound confirms right adnexal cyst (ICD-10 N83.20)
- 2
Document cyst size, characteristics (simple vs. complex), and location
- 3
Assess patient for pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or other symptoms
- 4
Consider CA-125 if complex cyst or postmenopausal (patient safety)
Ready-to-paste narrative
Patient presents with complaints possibly indicative of a right adnexal cyst. Symptoms include (but are not limited to) pelvic pain, right lower quadrant pain, abdominal discomfort, bloating, irregular menstrual cycles, and dysmenorrhea. Differential diagnoses considered include ovarian cyst, follicular cyst, corpus luteum cyst, hemorrhagic cyst, endometrioma, paraovarian cyst, and other adnexal masses. Physical examination revealed tenderness on palpation of the right adnexa. Pelvic ultrasound was performed demonstrating a simple right adnexal cyst measuring [size] cm. No complex features such as solid components, septations, or thick walls were observed. CA-125 levels were drawn and results are pending. Assessment: Right adnexal cyst, likely benign. Plan: Conservative management with observation and repeat pelvic ultrasound in [timeframe] to assess for changes in size or characteristics. Patient education provided regarding symptoms to monitor for, such as worsening pain, fever, or signs of ovarian torsion. Patient instructed to return to clinic for follow-up evaluation and discussion of management options if symptoms persist or worsen. ICD-10 code N83.20 (Unspecified ovarian cyst) is considered pending further evaluation. Medical coding and billing will reflect the final diagnosis and procedures performed.
