[9] [8] In addition to a complete physical exam and medical history, the following imaging tests are usually necessary to diagnose an adenoma of the adrenal gland: computed tomography (CT scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan), and/or positron emission tomography (PET scan).
These hormones include:
Adrenal insufficiency occurs when the adrenal glands don’t make enough of the hormone cortisol. The primary kind is known as Addison’s disease. It is rare. It is when the adrenal glands don’t make enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.
They form a mass that normally wouldn’t be there, and that mass may or may not be cancer. If you have an adrenal gland adenoma, you have a tumor on your adrenal gland, but it’s not cancer. Your two adrenal glands, one on each kidney, make hormones.

Benign neoplasm of unspecified adrenal gland D35. 00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D35. 00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
An adrenal adenoma is a benign (noncancerous) tumor that forms in your adrenal glands. It's the most common type of adrenal gland tumor. Most adrenal adenomas don't produce symptoms or require treatment. However, some adenomas may cause your adrenal glands to secrete excess hormones, like cortisol.
02.
Adenomas are generally benign or non cancerous but carry the potential to become adenocarcinomas which are malignant or cancerous. As benign growths they can grow in size to press upon the surrounding vital structures and leading to severe consequences.
79 but the D35.
Most adrenal gland tumors are benign, meaning noncancerous, but they need to be treated if they cause symptoms. The causes of adrenal tumors are not fully understood, although some rare genetic conditions increase the risk.
It's not clear what causes adrenal adenomas to form. They tend to be more common in older adults and people who are obese, as well as in those who have diabetes or high blood pressure. As in your case, adrenal adenomas often are found incidentally on abdominal imaging exams performed for another reason.
Types of tumors that start in the adrenal glands include:Adenoma. This is the most common kind of adrenal gland tumor. ... Adrenal cortex cancer (adrenal cortical carcinoma). This kind of tumor is rare. ... Pheochromocytoma. This is a tumor that makes hormones inside the adrenal glands (in the medulla). ... Neuroblastoma.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

An adenoma (from Greek αδένας, adeno-, "gland" + -ώμα, -oma, "tumor") (/ˌædᵻˈnoʊmə/; plural adenomas or adenomata /ˌædᵻˈnoʊmᵻtə/) is a benign tumor of epithelial tissue with glandular origin, glandular characteristics, or both. Adenomas can grow from many glandular organs, including the adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thyroid, prostate, and others. Some adenomas grow from epithelial tissue in nonglandular areas but express glandular tissue structure (as can happen in familial polyposis coli). Although adenomas are benign, over time they may transform to become malignant, at which point they are called adenocarcinomas. Most adenomas do not transform. But even while benign, they have the potential to cause serious health complications by compressing other structures (mass effect) and by producing large amounts of hormones in an unregulated, non-feedback-dependent manner (causing paraneoplastic syndromes). Some adenomas are too small to be seen macroscopically but can still cause clinical symptoms.

D35.0. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code D35.0 is a non-billable code.
