# DC 7628 - Benign neoplasms of gynecological system.

Rated under § 4.116. Body system: Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast.

Rate chronic residuals to include scars, lymphedema, disfigurement, and/or other impairment of function under the appropriate diagnostic code(s) within the appropriate body system

## Rating criteria

# VA Disability Rating: Benign Neoplasms of the Gynecological System (Diagnostic Code 7628)

## Understanding This Condition

Benign neoplasms of the gynecological system are non-cancerous growths that develop within the female reproductive organs. This condition is evaluated by the VA under **Diagnostic Code 7628**, which falls within **§ 4.116** and covers **Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast**.

## How the VA Rates This Condition

Unlike some conditions that use a single fixed rating table, benign neoplasms of the gynecological system are rated based on their **chronic residuals** — the lasting effects that remain after the growth itself has been treated or resolved.

According to the rating criteria, the VA rates the chronic residuals, which may include:

- **Scars**
- **Lymphedema** (swelling caused by fluid buildup)
- **Disfigurement**
- **Other impairment of function**

## What the VA Looks For

When evaluating this condition, the VA assigns a rating by looking at the specific chronic residuals present and applying **the appropriate diagnostic code(s) within the appropriate body system** for each residual. In other words, the rating reflects the ongoing impact of the condition rather than the presence of the growth alone.

Because the evaluation depends on which residuals are present and how they affect function, documentation of any lasting effects — such as scarring, swelling, disfigurement, or functional limitations — is central to how this condition is assessed.
