Benign carcinoid tumor of the kidney

This code signifies a non-cancerous, slow-growing neuroendocrine tumor originating in the kidney. While benign, these tumors can produce hormones, potentially leading to carcinoid syndrome, though this is less common with renal primaries.

Assign this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of a benign carcinoid tumor specifically located in the kidney. This diagnosis is typically established through imaging studies and confirmed by biopsy and histopathological examination.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "benign" and "carcinoid tumor" of the kidney.
• Do not confuse with malignant renal neoplasms (C64.-) or other benign renal tumors (D30.0-).
• Code any associated carcinoid syndrome (E34.0) separately, if documented.
