Other specified inflammatory diseases of prostate

This code signifies inflammatory conditions of the prostate that do not fit into more specific categories of prostatitis (e.g., acute, chronic bacterial, or nonbacterial). It encompasses various less common or ill-defined inflammatory processes affecting the prostate gland.

Use this code when documentation indicates prostatic inflammation without a definitive bacterial etiology or a clear diagnosis of acute or chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. This may include granulomatous prostatitis, eosinophilic prostatitis, or other atypical inflammatory responses. Supporting documentation should clearly state the inflammatory nature and location within the prostate, ruling out more specific forms.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "other specified" or provides a specific inflammatory condition not covered by other prostatitis codes.
• Do not use for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) without documented inflammation.
• Consider sequencing with codes for underlying systemic conditions if the prostatic inflammation is secondary.
