ICD Code D35.00

ICD code D35.00 is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor located in an adrenal gland, but it does not specify whether it is the left or right adrenal gland.

1. Presence of a benign (non-cancerous) tumor identified in the adrenal gland

2. Imaging studies (CT, MRI, or ultrasound) confirming a mass in the adrenal gland without evidence of malignancy

3. Absence of clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of hormonal hypersecretion (e.g., no signs of Cushing’s syndrome, pheochromocytoma, or hyperaldosteronism)

4. No evidence of metastatic disease or local invasion

5. Patient may be asymptomatic or present with non-specific symptoms such as abdominal discomfort or incidental finding on imaging

6. Histopathological confirmation of benign nature if biopsy or surgical excision is performed

7. Laterality of the adrenal gland (right, left, or unspecified) is not determined or documented in the medical record
