Other congenital malformations of testis and scrotum

This code signifies various congenital structural anomalies of the testes and scrotum not otherwise specified. It encompasses a range of developmental defects affecting these male reproductive organs present at birth. These malformations can impact testicular position, size, or the overall formation of the scrotal sac.

Apply this code when documentation specifies a congenital malformation of the testis or scrotum that doesn't fit more specific ICD-10-CM codes (e.g., undescended testis, testicular agenesis). This includes conditions like congenital scrotal hypoplasia, accessory testis, or other unspecified congenital deformities. Supporting documentation should clearly state the congenital nature and the specific anatomical abnormality.

• Do not use this code for acquired conditions; it is strictly for congenital malformations.
• Always seek more specific codes within the Q55 series if the documentation allows (e.g., Q55.0 for anorchism, Q55.1 for polyorchidism).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "congenital" or "present at birth" to justify its use.
