Discussion on ICD-10 Coding of Paraganglioma with Catecholamine Cardiomyopathy
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas(PPGLs)are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia,respectively,which produce catecholamines.According to the 2017 edition of WHO"Classification of Endocrine Organ Tumors"and the 2022 edition of WHO"Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors",all paragangliomas are regarded as malignant tumors with variable metastatic potential similar to epithelial neuroendocrine tumors.Through the analysis of paraganglioma with catecholamine cardiomyopathy,the correct disease code:E88.907+I43.1*;E27.500X003;C48.000x001;M86800/3.When encountering coding difficulties,the medical records department should strengthen communication with clinical,pathological and other departments,improve quality control processes,establish a coding evaluation system,and continuously improve coding quality.When accounting for differential coding,the medical records department should organize special seminars,strengthen communication with clinical,pathological and other departments,improve quality control processes,establish coding assessment systems,and continuously improve coding quality.
