Tuberculosis of prostate

This code signifies a specific manifestation of tuberculosis affecting the prostate gland. It indicates an active or latent tuberculous infection localized to the prostate, which can lead to symptoms such as urinary issues, pain, or inflammation.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of tuberculosis of the prostate. This diagnosis is typically supported by biopsy results, imaging findings, or positive cultures from prostatic fluid or tissue confirming Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

• Always confirm the specific organ involvement; do not use for general genitourinary tuberculosis without prostatic involvement.
• Code also for any associated urinary tract symptoms or complications, if documented.
• Ensure documentation specifies "tuberculosis" and not just "prostatitis" to avoid miscoding.
