About the N44 Code Range
ICD-10 code section N44 is used to classify noninflammatory disorders of the testis, including various types of testicular torsion and benign cysts. These codes help identify specific conditions causing testicular pain, swelling, or abnormalities without an infectious or inflammatory cause.
This section covers conditions such as torsion of testis (code N44.0), which includes subtypes like extravaginal (N44.01) and intravaginal torsion of the spermatic cord (N44.02). It also includes torsion of the testicular appendages such as the appendix testis (N44.03) and appendix epididymis (N44.04). These conditions, sometimes called “torsion of spermatic cord” or “torsion of testis,” can cause reversible ischemia or necrosis if untreated. Additionally, the codes cover benign cysts like cyst of the tunica albuginea testis (N44.1) and various benign cysts of the testes and epididymis (N44.2). Other unique presentations, including testicular position abnormalities and hypertrophy, are captured under N44.8. Use these specific codes when documenting noninflammatory testicular disorders to ensure accurate clinical and billing records.
