Abnormal histological findings in specimens from male genital organs
ICD-10 R86.7 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal histological findings in specimens from male genital organs.
R86.7 is used to classify abnormal histological findings in specimens obtained from male genital organs, which may include the prostate, testes, penis, and scrotum. These findings can indicate a variety of conditions, including neoplasms, infections, inflammatory processes, or degenerative changes. Histological examination often reveals cellular atypia, dysplasia, or malignancy, necessitating further diagnostic evaluation and management. Common symptoms associated with these findings may include pain, swelling, or abnormal discharge, while laboratory findings may include elevated tumor markers or abnormal imaging results. Accurate coding requires a thorough understanding of the clinical context and the specific histological findings, as they can significantly influence patient management and treatment decisions.
