ICD-10 Code A18.82 – Tuberculosis of other endocrine glands (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A18.82 – Tuberculosis of other endocrine glands
What it is
A18.82 identifies tuberculosis involving endocrine glands other than the thyroid or adrenal gland. Use it when the record clearly documents TB infection in an endocrine organ.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may reflect a chronic granulomatous infection affecting endocrine tissue, with organ-specific symptoms and supportive imaging or pathology.
When to use this code
Use A18.82 when the clinician documents tuberculosis of an endocrine gland not named elsewhere in the record. It may apply after biopsy, imaging, or specialist assessment confirms TB involvement. If the endocrine site is not specified, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for pulmonary tuberculosis or for TB of the thyroid or adrenal glands. If the chart does not identify an endocrine gland, do not assume this code.
Coding tip
Code the documented endocrine site exactly and verify whether another TB code is more specific.
