Malignant neoplasm of pineal gland
ICD-10 C75.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of pineal gland.
The malignant neoplasm of the pineal gland, classified under ICD-10 code C75.3, refers to cancerous tumors that originate in the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland located in the brain. This gland is responsible for the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms. Malignant tumors in this area can disrupt hormone production, leading to various metabolic and physiological disturbances. Symptoms may include headaches, vision problems, hormonal imbalances, and changes in sleep patterns. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, followed by histopathological examination of biopsy samples. Treatment options may include surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the tumor's size, type, and stage. Given the gland's role in endocrine function, the management of these tumors often requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving oncologists, endocrinologists, and neurosurgeons to address both the malignancy and its systemic effects.

Neurosurgeons must provide comprehensive documentation of the surgical approach and any complications.
Common symptoms include headaches, vision problems, hormonal imbalances, and changes in sleep patterns due to disrupted melatonin production.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, followed by a biopsy for histopathological examination.
Treatment options may include surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the tumor's characteristics.
Documentation should include detailed pathology reports, imaging studies, treatment plans, and any associated symptoms or complications.
