Calculus of prostate

This code represents the presence of prostatic calculi, which are stones or calcifications found within the prostate gland. These stones can be endogenous (formed within the prostate) or exogenous (migrated from the urinary tract). They are often asymptomatic but can contribute to symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or chronic prostatitis.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states "calculus of prostate" or "prostatic calculi." It is appropriate for both symptomatic and incidentally discovered prostatic stones. Ensure the physician's notes clearly identify the location of the calculus as within the prostate gland.

• Do not confuse with calculi in other parts of the urinary tract (e.g., kidney, ureter, bladder).
• Code any associated conditions, such as BPH (600.xx) or prostatitis (601.xx), if documented.
• This code is for the presence of the calculus itself, not for symptoms it may cause unless the symptoms are explicitly linked to the calculus.
