Anomalies of adrenal gland

This code represents congenital or acquired structural abnormalities of the adrenal glands. These anomalies can affect the size, shape, or position of one or both glands, potentially leading to endocrine dysfunction.

Use this code for documented cases of adrenal hypoplasia, agenesis, accessory adrenal tissue, or other specified structural malformations of the adrenal gland. Documentation should clearly indicate an anatomical deviation from normal adrenal structure.

• Differentiate from functional disorders of the adrenal gland (e.g., Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome) unless an underlying anomaly is explicitly stated.
• Specify the type of anomaly if known and a more precise code is available within the 759 series (e.g., 759.11 for congenital adrenal hyperplasia).
• Consider sequencing with codes for any associated endocrine or metabolic disturbances if the anomaly is the underlying cause.
