What is the ICD-10 code for a suprarenal mass?

The ICD-10 code for a benign suprarenal mass is D35.00-D35.02, depending on laterality. For uncertain behavior, use D44.10.

How is a suprarenal mass documented?

Document imaging details such as size, Hounsfield units, and hormonal workup results to support coding decisions for a suprarenal mass.

Code	Description	When to Use	Key Documentation
D35.00	Benign neoplasm of unspecified adrenal gland	Use when the adrenal mass is confirmed benign but laterality is unspecified.	Imaging showing homogeneous mass with HU ≤10 Stable size over 1 year
D35.01	Benign neoplasm of right adrenal gland	Use when the benign mass is located in the right adrenal gland.	Imaging showing homogeneous mass with HU ≤10 Stable size over 1 year
D35.02	Benign neoplasm of left adrenal gland	Use when the benign mass is located in the left adrenal gland.	Imaging showing homogeneous mass with HU ≤10 Stable size over 1 year
D44.10	Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of adrenal gland	Use when imaging or histology is indeterminate.	Imaging showing HU >10 but ≤20 Heterogeneous enhancement
E27.8	Other specified disorders of adrenal gland	Use for specified adrenal disorders like cysts or hyperplasia.	Biochemical evidence of MACS Unilateral hyperplasia

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common issues when documenting Suprarenal Mass.

Not specifying laterality for adrenal masses.

Impact

Clinical: May lead to incorrect treatment planning., Regulatory: Triggers coding audits., Financial: Potential for reduced reimbursement.

Mitigation

Always document laterality in clinical notes., Use templates that prompt for laterality.

Using unspecified codes when more specific ones are available.

Impact

Reimbursement: May lead to lower reimbursement rates., Compliance: Triggers audits for unspecified coding., Data Quality: Reduces accuracy of clinical data.

Mitigation

Ensure documentation specifies laterality and behavior.

Unspecified Coding

Impact

Using unspecified codes can trigger audits.

Mitigation

Ensure documentation supports specific code selection.
