Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the N48 range.
Balanitis
Inflammation of the head of the PENIS, glans penis.
Penile Induration
A condition characterized by hardening of the PENIS due to the formation of fibrous plaques on the dorsolateral aspect of the PENIS, usually involving the membrane (tunica albuginea) surrounding the erectile tissue (corpus cavernosum penis). This may eventually cause a painful deformity of the shaft or constriction of the urethra, or both.
Penile Leukoplakia
A precancerous condition characterized by the presence of abnormal whitish areas on the glans or prepuce of the penis. Risk factors include chronic irritation, inflammation, and infection of the penis, and poor genital hygiene.
Priapism
A prolonged painful erection that may lasts hours and is not associated with sexual activity. It is seen in patients with SICKLE CELL ANEMIA, advanced malignancy, spinal trauma; and certain drug treatments.
