Pituitary macroadenoma are noncancerous tumors of the pituitary gland. They are equal to or larger than 10 mm. The ICD-9 diagnosis code for pituitary macroadenoma is 227.3.
The only category that seems to fit is the very broad "disorders of the adrenal glands" which has the ICD code 255. Cushing's syndrome has the ICD code 255.0, if this is included in the diagnosis also.
A pituitary adenoma less than 10 mm. Note: An adenoma is a benign epithelial neoplasm in which the tumor cells form glands or glandlike structures; usually well circumscribed, tending to compress rather than infiltrate or invade adjacent tissue
