Q53.22

Billable

Ectopic perineal testis, bilateral

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Both testicles are located in the perineal area (between the scrotum and anus) rather than in the scrotum.

Coding Tips

  • •Perineal ectopic testes are a rare location for undescended testicles
  • •Verify bilateral documentation to distinguish from unilateral perineal ectopic testis (Q53.12)
