D35.6 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of aortic body and other paraganglia. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code D356 is used to code Paraganglioma

A paraganglioma is rare neuroendocrine neoplasm that may develop at various body sites (including the head, neck, thorax and abdomen). About 97% are benign and cured by surgical removal; the remaining 3% are malignant because they are able to produce distant metastases. "Paraganglioma" is now the most-widely accepted term for these lesions, that have been also described as: glomus tumor, chemodectoma, perithelioma, fibroangioma, and sympathetic nevi.
