ICD-10-PCS Code For Coccygeal Glomus: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0GCB includes procedures performed to extirpate solid matter from the coccygeal glomus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a surgeon removes abnormal or pathological solid tissue from the coccygeal glomus for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0GCB group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific extirpative procedure performed on the endocrine system and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Coccygeal Glomus Extirpation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the extirpation, or taking out, of solid pathological or abnormal tissue from the coccygeal glomus. These procedures target the endocrine system and specifically the coccygeal glomus as the body part. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the extirpative nature of the operation and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents acutely with severe localized pain and a tender, fluctuant mass at the tailbone after weeks of progressive discomfort; imaging and exam suggest a solid, likely infected or necrotic lesion of the coccygeal glomus requiring inpatient surgical removal for source control and symptom relief. An open extirpation is performed when drainage and direct access are needed due to surrounding inflammation. Typical codes: 0GCB0ZZ
An adult with a slowly enlarging, nonfunctional endocrine lesion of the coccygeal glomus noted on outpatient imaging is admitted for a planned, minimally invasive removal to obtain tissue for diagnosis and prevent future symptoms; the surgeon uses a percutaneous approach guided by imaging to excise the solid lesion. This elective procedure targets extirpation of abnormal solid tissue with minimal disruption of adjacent structures. Typical codes: 0GCB3ZZ
A patient with a previously attempted percutaneous biopsy of a coccygeal glomus develops persistent residual solid tissue causing pain and recurrent bleeding; during an inpatient admission for definitive management, the team performs a percutaneous endoscopic extirpation to visualize and remove remaining pathological tissue. The endoscopic percutaneous technique allows direct visualization to complete the extirpation and reduce recurrence risk. Typical codes: 0GCB4ZZ
