What is the code for cecal mass?

Based on this definition: "Cecal mass is a space occupying lesion that involves the first part (cecum) of the colon. It can be benign or cancerous," I would code 568.89. This is the code in the alphabetic index under "lesion, colon." The tabular index does not list "lesion" under this code but it doesn't exclude it, either, so based on the alphabetic index, 568.89 should be acceptable.

What is cecal contents?

Cecal contents refer to the material found in the cecum, which is the first part of the large intestine. This mixture includes undigested food, bacteria, water, and digestive secretions, playing a crucial role in the fermentation of dietary fibers. In some animals, cecal contents are important for nutrient absorption and can be re-ingested to optimize digestion. In humans, while the cecum is less functionally significant than in some other species, it still contributes to the overall digestive process.
