Superficial endometriosis of the cecum

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

What This Code Means

Endometrial tissue grows in the cecum at a superficial level, affecting only the outer layers of the bowel wall.

Coding Tips

  • •The cecum is the first part of the large intestine; superficial involvement is limited to mucosa and submucosa
  • •Differentiate from deep endometriosis (N80.532) which extends into deeper layers
