R87.6Abnormal cytological findings in specimens from female genital organs

R87.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abnormal cytological findings in specimens from female genital organs. It belongs to category R87 (abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs), block R83-R89 (abnormal findings on examination of other body fluids, substances and tissues, without diagnosis) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within R87 (abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs), R87.6 is specifically for abnormal cytological findings in specimens from female genital organs.
