ICD-10 Code E23.7 – Disorder of pituitary gland, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E23.7 – Disorder of pituitary gland, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies a pituitary gland disorder when the record does not specify the exact condition. It is used for nonspecific pituitary abnormalities affecting hormone regulation or gland function.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have symptoms of pituitary dysfunction, but the record should support a pituitary gland disorder rather than a more specific endocrine diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use E23.7 when the provider documents a pituitary gland disorder without naming a more precise diagnosis. It is appropriate when the note describes pituitary abnormality, dysfunction, or disease, and no further detail is available. If the condition is specified, code that diagnosis instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code when the chart identifies a specific pituitary disorder, such as a defined hormonal deficiency or tumor. Check documentation if the condition is actually a hypothalamic or other endocrine disorder.
Coding tip
Query for the exact pituitary diagnosis whenever the documentation is vague, because E23.7 is only for unspecified cases.
