ICD-10 Code A18.15 – Tuberculosis of other male genital organs (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A18.15 – Tuberculosis of other male genital organs
What it is
This code identifies tuberculosis infection involving male genital organs other than the prostate, epididymis, testes, or penis when documented. Use it for extrapulmonary TB affecting a specified male genital site.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include chronic swelling, pain, mass, ulceration, or fistula in the affected genital organ, along with evidence supporting tuberculosis.
When to use this code
Use A18.15 when the provider documents tuberculosis in another male genital organ and names the site clearly. It is appropriate for confirmed or clinically diagnosed genital TB when the record supports the specific organ involved. If the note only says “genital TB,” check documentation for the exact location.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for tuberculosis of the prostate, epididymis, testes, or penis, which have separate codes. Also avoid it when the site is unspecified or when the condition is not tuberculosis.
Coding tip
Code the most specific male genital site documented; if the organ is unclear, query the provider before assigning A18.15.
