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.
33 – Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Adult) (Pediatric) ICD-Code G47. 33 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Adult) (pediatric).
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.
Like other lymphatic tissues, the function of lingual tonsils is to prevent infections. These tonsils contain B and T lymphocytes which get activated when harmful bacteria and viruses come in contact with tonsils.
Obstructive sleep apnea (adult) (pediatric) 33 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G47. 33 - other international versions of ICD-10 G47.

Enlarged tonsils can be an ongoing (chronic) condition or a temporary effect of an infection. Doctors aren't sure what causes chronically enlarged tonsils, but secondhand tobacco smoke and air pollution can make them larger. If the tonsils are very large, a person may snore or have trouble swallowing certain foods.
When the tonsils are so large that they are touching each other, they are considered “kissing tonsils”. Unless a patient experiences trouble breathing or difficulty swallowing, large tonsils that are not infected are usually observed. Sometimes this condition can be treated medically.
Tonsils are small, round pieces of tissue located in the back of the mouth on both sides of the throat. Adenoids are similar to tonsils but located in back of the nasal cavity. Tonsils and adenoids are often removed when they become large and inflamed and begin to cause frequent infections.
All people have tonsil tissue on the back of the tongue (lingual tonsils) that is different from what we normally think of as tonsils (palatine tonsils) that are located on the sides of the throat and seen when we open our mouths.
the tongueLingual tonsils are located on the posterior surface of the tongue, which also places them near the opening of the oral cavity into the pharynx. Lymphocytes and macrophages in the tonsils provide protection against harmful substances and pathogens that may enter the body through the nose or mouth.
In addition to palatine tonsils, there is a ring of tonsil-like tissue, called Waldeyer's ring, located in the oropharynx. The bottom portion of the ring at the base of tongue is called the lingual tonsils (see below).

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.
For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned. Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
