Benign neoplasm of sigmoid colon

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A benign (non-cancerous) tumor located in the sigmoid colon, which is the S-shaped portion of the large intestine just before the rectum.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm the neoplasm is in the sigmoid colon and not the rectum or descending colon
  • •Note the size and morphology of the lesion, as this may influence treatment decisions
