Nontoxic uninodular goiter
Why ICD-10 codes are important
E04. 1 - Nontoxic single thyroid nodule. ICD-10-CM.
Thyroid nodules are classified to ICD-9-CM code 241.0, Nontoxic uninodular goiter. If a nodule is with hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis, assign code 242.1x.
2: Nontoxic multinodular goiter.
ICD-10 code D34 for Benign neoplasm of thyroid gland is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Neoplasms .
What Are Goiters and Thyroid Nodules? An enlarged thyroid gland can be felt as a lump under the skin at the front of the neck. When it is large enough to see easily, it's called a goiter. A thyroid nodule is a lump or enlarged area in the thyroid gland.
Most nodules are cysts filled with fluid or with a stored form of thyroid hormone called colloid. Solid nodules have little fluid or colloid and are more likely to be cancerous. Still, most solid nodules are not cancer.
A multinodular goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland containing multiple nodules. Most often, these nodules are benign. As above, these only require treatment if you are experiencing compressive or hyperthyroid symptoms, or if one or more of the nodules is suspicious for thyroid cancer.
ICD-10 code: E04. 1 Nontoxic single thyroid nodule.
Nontoxic goiter is thyroid gland enlargement with no disturbance in the thyroid function. It is not due to inflammation or neoplasia. The goiter may be diffuse or a localized growth. If the goiter is large, it may extend into the retrosternal space.
The word follicular means the cells look like a group of small circles under a microscope. If the follicular cells are contained within the nodule, the condition is called benign. If the cells have invaded the surrounding tissue, the diagnosis is cancer. Thyroid cysts are nodules filled with fluid.
