R87: Abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs
The ICD-10 category R87 represents a group of diseases characterized by abnormal findings in specimens, specifically from female genital organs. These conditions are usually identified during diagnostic procedures or screening tests. Some common methods of detection include Pap smears, colposcopies, biopsies, or cultures. The abnormalities can range from minor, such as an irregularity in cellular structure, to major, such as the presence of malignant cells. The causes can vary widely, from infections like Human Papillomavirus (HPV) to genetic mutations. Symptoms may vary or might not even be present but can consist of unusual vaginal bleeding, discharge, or pain. The progression of these conditions depends largely on their underlying cause and early detection can significantly impact the course of the disease. The systems primarily affected are the female reproductive system, including the cervix, uterus, and/or ovaries.
