Benign neoplasm of left adrenal gland
ICD-10 D35.02 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of left adrenal gland.
A benign neoplasm of the left adrenal gland refers to a non-cancerous tumor that arises from the adrenal tissue located on the left side of the body. These neoplasms can include adenomas, which are the most common type, and may produce hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, or catecholamines, leading to various clinical syndromes. Patients may present with symptoms related to hormone overproduction, such as hypertension, hypokalemia, or Cushing's syndrome. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like CT or MRI scans, which help visualize the mass and assess its characteristics. Biochemical tests may also be performed to evaluate hormone levels. Treatment often involves surgical intervention, especially if the neoplasm is symptomatic or shows signs of growth. Regular follow-up and monitoring are essential to ensure that the neoplasm does not progress or lead to complications.
