D28: Benign neoplasm of other and unspecified female genital organs
D28.0: Benign neoplasm: Vulva
When there is abnormal growth of tissue in an organ, then this is referred to as a tumor. The tissue in the body is made up of cells. A tumor disorder involves the cells multiplying more than normal. This results in abnormal or excess tissue forming. A tumor can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not destroy the healthy tissue and do not spread throughout the body.
The vagina is tubular and leads from the outside to the uterus. The labia and clitoris, for example, are on the outside of the vagina.
A tumor on the outside of the vagina can cause you to feel pressure there, for example. Sometimes you can also have no symptoms at all.
