Abnormal radiologic findings on dx imaging of left testicle

This code signifies the presence of an unexpected or unusual finding identified during an imaging study (e.g., ultrasound, MRI, CT scan) of the left testicle. These findings are not definitive diagnoses but rather indicate an abnormality requiring further investigation or clinical correlation. Examples include masses, cysts, calcifications, or altered echogenicity.

Assign this code when diagnostic imaging of the left testicle reveals an abnormal finding that is not yet definitively diagnosed. This is appropriate when the radiologist's report describes a finding as "abnormal," "suspicious," "indeterminate," or "unspecified mass/lesion" of the left testicle. Documentation must clearly specify the left side.

• Always seek a more specific diagnosis if available from the physician's interpretation or subsequent workup.
• Do not use this code if a definitive diagnosis (e.g., testicular cancer, epididymitis) is established.
• Ensure the imaging report explicitly states the abnormality is located in the left testicle.
