Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right adrenal gland
ICD-10 D44.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right adrenal gland.
D44.11 refers to a neoplasm of uncertain behavior located in the right adrenal gland. Neoplasms of uncertain behavior are tumors that cannot be definitively classified as benign or malignant based on histological examination. These tumors may exhibit atypical features that warrant careful monitoring due to their potential for progression. The adrenal glands, located atop each kidney, are responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress. Neoplasms in this area can disrupt hormonal balance and lead to various clinical manifestations, including hypertension, weight changes, and metabolic disturbances. Surveillance is crucial for these neoplasms, as they may require surgical intervention if they show signs of growth or malignancy. Regular imaging studies and hormonal evaluations are typically recommended to assess the tumor's behavior over time. The management of these neoplasms often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including endocrinologists, oncologists, and surgeons, to ensure comprehensive care and timely intervention if necessary.
Detailed hormonal assessment and imaging results.
Patients presenting with symptoms of hormonal imbalance or incidental findings on imaging.
Ensure clear documentation of hormonal evaluations and follow-up plans.
Comprehensive tumor board discussions and treatment plans.
Patients with neoplasms requiring potential surgical intervention or chemotherapy.
Document multidisciplinary approaches and any changes in tumor behavior.
Used for initial evaluation and follow-up of adrenal neoplasms.
Document indications for imaging and findings.
Endocrinologists should ensure imaging correlates with hormonal evaluations.
It refers to tumors that cannot be definitively classified as benign or malignant based on current medical knowledge and histological examination.
