Typical Clinical Scenarios

An older adult with a solitary, functioning right adrenal cortical adenoma causing refractory Cushing syndrome is admitted for inpatient evaluation and scheduled for a planned destruction procedure after endocrine optimization; the intent is to destroy the hypersecreting adrenal tissue to control cortisol production while avoiding a formal adrenalectomy. Typical codes: 0G533Z3, 0G534Z3
A middle-aged patient with a recurrent right adrenal metastasis previously treated with surgery presents with progressive pain and local tumor growth; because the lesion is not amenable to resection due to comorbidity and prior operations, a percutaneous or percutaneous endoscopic destructive procedure is performed to ablate the adrenal tumor and palliate symptoms. Typical codes: 0G533ZZ, 0G534ZZ
A patient in the inpatient setting develops acute hemorrhage into a known right adrenal lesion causing hemodynamic instability and is taken for open surgical control where direct destructive modalities are used to eradicate the damaged adrenal tissue and control bleeding as part of definitive management. Typical codes: 0G530ZZ, 0G530Z3
