The parotid glands are two salivary glands that sit just in front of the ears on each side of the face. Salivary glands produce saliva to aid in chewing and digesting food. There are many salivary glands in the lips, cheeks, mouth and throat.
Benign neoplasm of parotid gland D11. 0 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 D11. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Warthin tumor is a relatively frequent and benign neoplasm of the major salivary glands. It is histologically characterized by a dense lymphoid stroma and a double layer of oncocytic epithelium with a papillary and cystic architectural pattern. Its etiology remains uncertain.
Pleomorphic adenoma, the most common salivary gland tumor, is also known as benign mixed tumors (BMT's), because of its dual origin from epithelial and myoepithelial elements.It is the commonest of all salivary gland tumors constituting up to two-thirds of all salivary gland tumors.
Parotid Glands and How They Affect our Health The salivary glands aid in the digestive process and keep the mouth healthy. Amylase, an enzyme found in saliva, initiates the digestive process by breaking down starches in the food.
Parotid glands are found in front of and just below each ear. Submandibular glands are below the jaw. Sublingual glands are under the tongue. There are also hundreds of smaller glands.
The exact underlying cause of Warthin tumor is currently unknown. However, smoking is thought to increase the risk of developing the tumor. Some studies suggest that radiation exposure and autoimmune disorders may also be associated with Warthin tumor 10).
Warthin's tumors occur bilateral in 7-10%, whereas a multifocal appearance is extremely rare. Even if the pathogenesis is still unclear a heterotopia of salivary tissue during embryogenesis is the most likely explanation for the origin of these tumors in the upper neck and periparotideal region.
Disease at a Glance Warthin tumor is a benign tumor of the salivary gland. The first symptom is usually a painless, slow-growing bump in front of the ear, on the bottom of the mouth, or under the chin. Though the cause is currently unknown, smoking is believed to increase the chance of developing Warthin tumor.
Pleomorphic adenomas are benign salivary gland tumors, which predominantly affect the superficial lobe of the parotid gland. The “pleomorphic” nature of the tumor can be explained on the basis of its epithelial and connective tissue origin. The tumor has a female predilection between 30–50 years of age.
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor in both children and adults, accounting for 45-75% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The annual incidence is approximately 2-3.5 cases per 100,000 population.
Pleomorphic adenoma forms the majority of salivary gland neoplasms. Cystic change in pleomorphic adenomas is a diagnostic dilemma and can mimic mucoepidermoid carcinoma, mucocele or carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
Malignant transformation of Warthin's tumor is more common in the lymphoid component than the epithelial component, although malignant carcinoma is very rare (0.3%)8.
No recurrence was observed in all sixty cases including cases of rupture of the capsule before or during surgery. Therefore, we recommend that enucleation is a useful choice as a surgical procedure for the removal of Warthin's tumor after accurate detection of the tumors using MRI.
The malignant transformation of Warthin's tumour is extremely rare (0.3%). The malignant transformation of its lymphoid component into malignant lymphoma is relatively common, whereas, an epithelial malignancy in Warthin's tumour is extremely rare [3,4].
Warthin's tumors are completely benign, with no malignant potential, and therefore can be left alone if they are not bothering the patient.
D37.030 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of the parotid salivary glands. The code D37.030 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code D37.030 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like neoplasm of uncertain behavior of major salivary gland or neoplasm of uncertain behavior of parotid gland.#N#The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic parotid (duct) (gland) or Neoplasm, neoplastic salivary gland or duct (major) parotid or Neoplasm, neoplastic Stensen's duct .
The code D37.030 is included in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.#N#Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.
They make saliva (spit) and empty it into your mouth through openings called ducts. Saliva makes your food moist, which helps you chew and swallow. It helps you digest your food. It also cleans your mouth and contains antibodies that can kill germs.

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code D37.030 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code D37.030 and a single ICD9 code, 235.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
