Abnormal radiologic findings on dx imaging of right testicle

This code signifies an unexpected or unusual finding detected during an imaging study (e.g., ultrasound, MRI, CT scan) of the right testicle. These findings are not yet definitively diagnosed as a specific disease but warrant further investigation. It indicates an abnormality that deviates from normal anatomical appearance or expected physiological function.

Use this code when diagnostic imaging of the right testicle reveals an abnormal finding, such as a mass, cyst, calcification, or altered echogenicity, but a definitive diagnosis (e.g., testicular cancer, epididymitis) has not yet been established. This code is appropriate when the radiologist's report describes a finding as "abnormal," "suspicious," or "indeterminate," requiring additional workup.

• Do not use this code if a definitive diagnosis for the abnormal finding has been made; instead, code the specific condition.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the right testicle; separate codes exist for the left or unspecified testicle.
• This code is often a primary diagnosis when the patient presents for evaluation of an abnormal imaging finding, or a secondary diagnosis when the imaging was performed for other reasons and an incidental finding was noted.
