ICD Code D35.2

ICD code D35.2 is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor of the pituitary gland.

1. Presence of a noncancerous tumor located in the pituitary gland

2. Imaging studies (MRI or CT) confirming a well-circumscribed mass in the pituitary region

3. Absence of malignant features on histopathological examination

4. Symptoms of pituitary dysfunction, such as hormonal imbalances (e.g., hyperprolactinemia, acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, or hypopituitarism)

5. Visual disturbances due to compression of the optic chiasm (e.g., bitemporal hemianopsia)

6. Headaches localized to the sellar region

7. Incidental finding of a pituitary mass on imaging performed for unrelated reasons

8. No evidence of metastasis or local invasion beyond the pituitary gland

Relevant CPT codes that may be used to treat ICD code D35.2 include:

- 61548: Hypophysectomy or excision of pituitary tumor, transnasal or transseptal approach

- 61546: Hypophysectomy or excision of pituitary tumor, intracranial approach

- 62165: Neuroendoscopy, intracranial; with excision of pituitary tumor, transnasal or transsphenoidal approach

- 61790: Stereotactic radiosurgery (particle beam, gamma ray, or linear accelerator); one simple cranial lesion

- 61791: Stereotactic radiosurgery (particle beam, gamma ray, or linear accelerator); one complex cranial lesion

- 70553: MRI, brain (including brain stem); without and with contrast material

These CPT codes are commonly associated with the management and treatment of D35.2.
