The most appropriate code to report for that service would be 42999 (Unlisted procedure, pharynx, adenoids, or tonsils) linked to J35.
Cryptic tonsils are the consequence of repeated inflammations. Anatomically, cryptic tonsils have cavities like small caves where are deposited remains of food, fungi and bacteria that contribute to the formation of tonsillolith.( 3)
ICD-10 code J35. 1 for Hypertrophy of tonsils is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Tonsillar hypertrophy is when you or your child's tonsils become swollen. Enlarged tonsils are a common condition, more likely to happen in children. Surgery to remove the tonsils might be required depending on how large they become. This is called a tonsillectomy.
Everyone has holes and crevices, called "crypts," in their tonsils. The larger the crypts, the more likely they are to hold stones. Although experts disagree about whether poor dental hygiene causes tonsil stones, they agree that cleaning the mouth is important.
Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are bits of food or debris that collect in the crevices of your tonsils and harden or calcify. They are typically white or light yellow, and some people can see them when examining their tonsils.
Tonsil cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that forms in a tonsil. Your tonsils are two oval-shaped pads in the back of your mouth that are part of your body's germ-fighting immune system. Tonsil cancer can cause difficulty swallowing and a sensation that something is caught in your throat.
The tonsillar fossa or sinus is a triangular space between the anterior pillar in front, the posterior pillar behind, and the dorsal surface of the posterior one third of the tongue inferiorly (Figure 2). Because the tonsils are positioned in it, its borders also limit the tonsil [7].
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.
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.
Tonsils are the two round lumps in the back of your throat. Adenoids are high in the throat behind the nose and above the roof of the mouth. The adenoids are not visible through the mouth or nose without special instruments. Tonsils and adenoids are part of the immune system, similar to lymph nodes.

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.
DRG Group #011-013 - Tracheostomy for face, mouth and neck diagnoses without CC or MCC.
In this example, documentation supports recurrent, acute staphylococcal aureus tonsillitis. J03.81 Acute recurrent tonsillitis due to other specified organism is the first listed ICD-10-CM code. Based on the instructional note included with J03.81, B95.61 Methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere should be used also.
The tonsils are part of the lymphatic and immunologic system. They are oval shaped, pink structures in the back of the throat and act as filters by trapping germs that pass through the nose and mouth. They also produce antibodies that help fight infection. They are the body’s first line of defense, and are similar to lymph nodes located in the neck, groin, and armpits.#N#Tonsillitis may be either viral or bacterial. Streptococcus pyogenes, the bacteria that causes strep throat, is a common bacterial cause, accounting for approximately 30 percent of tonsillitis in children and 10 percent in adults. Other causes include adenovirus, influenza virus, and Epstein-Barr virus.#N#ICD-10-CM codes for acute tonsillitis are contained in subcategory J03:
Include a code for the place of occurrence of the external cause (i.e.: park, school, home, etc.): Y92.- ( Place of occurrence of external cause … ). Exception: Do not report a chapter 20 code if the T code already includes an external cause of injury.
