Unilateral tonsillar swelling is a fairly common presenting complaint in an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) department. It may or may not be associated with any other symptoms. Most of the time, the tonsil asymmetry is secondary to previous history of tonsillitis, quinsy, and tonsil stones.
Tonsils and adenoids can become enlarged for many different reasons, including exposure to viruses, bacteria, fungal, parasitic infections and cigarette smoke. Common viruses include: adenovirus. influenza virus.

Tonsil & Adenoid Hypertrophy – About Tonsils are visible through the mouth, but the adenoids are not. Hypertrophy means enlargement. Hypertrophy of the tonsils and the adenoids means this tissue is enlarged. Adenoid hypertrophy is common in children but rare in adults.
Hypertrophy of tonsils with hypertrophy of adenoids J35. 3 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 J35. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Malignant neoplasm of tonsil. Approximate Synonyms. Cancer of the tonsil. Cancer of the tonsil, palatine, squamous cell. Primary malignant neoplasm of tonsil. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of tonsil palatine. Clinical Information. Malignant neoplasm of the tonsils. Malignant neoplasm of the tonsils.
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.
J35.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other chronic diseases of tonsils and adenoids. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
While they occur most commonly in the palatine tonsils, they may also occur in the lingual tonsils. Tonsilloliths have been recorded weighing from 0.3g to 42g . They are composed mostly of calcium, but may contain other minerals such as phosphorus and magnesium, as well as ammonia and carbonate.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code J35.8 and a single ICD9 code, 474.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
