Tuberculosis of other male genital organs

This code signifies a tuberculosis infection affecting male reproductive organs other than the epididymis, prostate, or seminal vesicles. This can include the testes, vas deferens, or urethra. It represents a specific manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of tuberculosis localized to male genital organs not specified elsewhere. Supporting documentation should include pathology reports confirming Mycobacterium tuberculosis, imaging studies, or clinical notes detailing the affected organ.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other" male genital organs; if the epididymis, prostate, or seminal vesicles are affected, a more specific code exists.
• Always code the underlying tuberculosis (A15-A19) as the primary diagnosis if it is the reason for the encounter, followed by this code.
• Confirm the laterality if specified in the documentation, although this code does not differentiate laterality.
