N64. 89 - Other specified disorders of breast. ICD-10-CM.
A disorder characterized by marked discomfort sensation in the breast region. Pain in the breast generally classified as cyclical (associated with menstrual periods), or noncyclical, i.e. Originating from the breast or nearby muscles or joints, ranging from minor discomfort to severely incapacitating.
Other signs and symptoms in breast The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N64. 59 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N64.
Gynecomastia is often due to an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen hormones. Certain medications and diseases can also cause male breast tissue to swell and get bigger. Enlarged breasts in boys and men often improve without treatment.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast).
It is usually bilateral, and is more often felt in the upper outer quadrant. Its intensity increases just before menstruation, and decreases after menstruation. Non- cyclic pain is felt as pain related to the chest wall rather than the breast itself. It is not associated with the menstrual cycle.
Mastodynia is the medical term describing the common symptom of breast pain, also labeled as mastalgia. This symptom can occur in both men and women, but it presents more often in women, with the severity of the pain varying from mild and self-limited to severe pain.
Breast hypertrophy, which really just means overgrowth of breast tissue, is a condition in which breasts grow so heavy that they cause problems. Common complaints with this condition are neck or back pain, rashes developing in the skin folds under the breasts and embarrassment about the shape and size of the breast.
ICD CODE: For women with dense breasts, an appropriate ICD-10 code is 92.2 (which is “inconclusive mammogram” and can be used because of dense breast tissue).
Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast (usually bilateral but sometimes unilateral) resulting from a proliferation of the glandular component of the breast (see the image below). It is defined clinically by the presence of a rubbery or firm mass extending concentrically from the nipples.
Clinically, gynecomastia is diagnosed by finding subareolar breast tissue of 2 cm in diameter or greater. Malignancy is suspected if an immobile firm mass is found on physical examination. Skin dimpling, nipple retraction or discharge, and axillary lymphadenopathy further support malignancy as a possible diagnosis.
9) identified four grades of gynecomastia:Grade I: Small enlargement without skin excess.Grade IIa: Moderate enlargement without skin excess.Grade IIb: Moderate enlargement with minor skin excess.Grade III: Marked enlargement with excess skin, mimicking female breast ptosis (Figure 4). Figure 4.
This article has been cited byother articles in PMC. Abstract. Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of male breast glandular tissue and is the most common breast condition in males. At least 30% of males will be affected during their life. Since it causes anxiety, psychosocial discomfort and fear of breast cancer, ...
The prevalence of gynecomastia was reported to be between 32-65%, due to use of different methods of assessment and the analysis of males of different ages and with different lifestyles, while autopsy data suggest a prevalence of 40%.[6] Generally, a trimodal age distribution is observed.[8] The first peak occurs in infancy or the neonatal period, with an occurrence of 60-90%. During pregnancy, the placenta converts DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) and DHEA-SO4 (dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate), derived from both mother and fetus, to estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2), respectively. E1 and E2 then enter the fetal circulation and later stimulate breast glandular proliferation, which results in transient neonatal gynecomastia. Normally, this condition regresses within 2-3 weeks of delivery.[2,5,8,11] The second peak occurs during puberty and has a prevalence of 4-69%. This wide variation is likely due to differences in what is considered to be normal sub-areolar glandular tissue, the diagnosing physician and most importantly variations in the age distribution of the patient populations.[6] Pubertal gynecomastia usually begins at age 10-12-years-old and peaks at ages 13-14. It usually regresses within 18m and is uncommon in males aged 17 and older.[8,11] The final peak occurs in older males (particularly in those aged 50-80-years-old), with a prevalence of 24-65%. Senile gynecomastia can generally be attributed to increased adiposity with aging, because adipose tissue is the major tissue in which androgens are converted to estrogens.[2] The higher estrogen production rates in older males are related to an age-related increase in cytochrome cytochrome P19 (CYP19) activity in adipose tissue.[7] Additional contributing factors are decreased testosterone (T) and the use of medications that may alter androgen or estrogen concentrations or actions.[2]
The early stages of gynecomastia are characterized by ductal epithelial hyperplasia (the proliferation and lengthening of the ducts), increases in stromal and periductal connective tissue, increased periductal inflammation, intensive periductal edema and stromal fibroblastic proliferation.
Because of the increasing incidence of obesity, the number of patients with pseudogynecomastia is increasing. In addition, increased use of anabolic steroids and environmental contamination with xenoestrogens or estrogen-like substances may stimulate glandular proliferation in male breast tissue.[10] . In mild cases, simple reassurance coupled ...
Pubertal gynecomastia usually begins at age 10-12-years-old and peaks at ages 13-14. It usually regresses within 18m and is uncommon in males aged 17 and older.[8,11] The final peak occurs in older males (particularly in those aged 50-80-years-old), with a prevalence of 24-65%.
Medications have been reported to cause up to 25% of cases of gynecomastia and they can be categorized by their hormone-like action.[6,10] Type 1 medications act like estrogens and include diethylstilbestrol (DEB), oral contraceptives, phytoestrogens, digitalis and estrogen-containing cosmetics.
Gynecomastia is observed in 10-40% of males with Graves' Disease.[10] It is frequently caused by the direct stimulation of peripheral aromatase, because elevated LH levels contribute to increased E2 levels and T production from Leydig cells. In addition, SHBG is often increased, leading to increased concentrations of E2. In cases of hyperthyroidism, breast enlargement is usually resolved after restoration of the euthyroid state.[11]
In most cases breast enlargement and/or benign gynecomastia spontaneously resolves by age 18 making treatment unnecessary. Gynecomastia during puberty is not uncommon and in 90% of cases regresses within 3 years of onset.
I. Mastectomy or suction lipectomy for treatment of benign gynecomastia for a male patient under age 18 is considered reconstructive and medically necessary when all the following criteria are met:
