Benign neoplasm of right adrenal gland

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous tumor originating in the right adrenal gland. These benign growths are typically discovered incidentally during imaging studies performed for other reasons and are often asymptomatic. They do not spread to other parts of the body.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a benign neoplasm specifically located in the right adrenal gland. This diagnosis is often supported by imaging reports (e.g., CT, MRI) characterizing the mass as benign, or by pathology reports following biopsy or surgical excision. Use when the laterality of the benign adrenal mass is explicitly stated as right.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "benign" and "right adrenal gland." Do not use for unspecified adrenal masses or malignant tumors.
• Distinguish from D35.02 for benign neoplasm of the left adrenal gland and D35.00 for unspecified adrenal gland.
• If the adrenal mass is functional (e.g., producing hormones), also code the associated endocrine disorder (e.g., E27.0 for Cushing's syndrome due to adrenal adenoma).
