ICD Code R87.619

ICD code R87.619 is unspecified abnormal cytological findings in specimens from the cervix uteri, meaning that a cervical screening test found abnormal cells, but the specific type of abnormality was not identified.

1. Cytological examination of a cervical specimen reveals abnormal findings that do not fit into a more specific diagnostic category.

2. The abnormality is detected during routine cervical cancer screening (e.g., Pap smear).

3. The cytological findings are not clearly indicative of malignancy, dysplasia, or a specific infectious process.

4. There is insufficient information to classify the abnormality as ASC-US, LSIL, HSIL, or other defined cytological categories.

5. The specimen is adequate for evaluation, but the abnormality remains unspecified after review.

6. No definitive clinical symptoms are present, but laboratory results indicate an abnormal cytological result from the cervix uteri.
