R92341 - Extremely dense breast tissue found on mammogram of the right breast
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code indicates that a mammogram (breast X-ray) showed extremely dense breast tissue in the right breast. Breast density refers to the amount of fibrous and glandular tissue compared to fatty tissue in the breast. Extremely dense breast tissue means there is a high proportion of fibrous and glandular tissue, which appears white on mammograms and can make it more difficult to detect abnormalities. This is a finding about the composition of breast tissue, not a disease or abnormality itself.
Additional Information
Breast density is classified into four categories, with this representing the highest density level. Dense breast tissue is common and not abnormal, but may affect mammogram interpretation and screening recommendations.
