2025 ICD-10-CM code N42.0

Calculus of prostate. Prostatic stone.

Use additional codes to report associated conditions, such as urinary tract infections (N39.0) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (N40.-).

Medical necessity for intervention is determined by the presence of symptoms, complications, or the size and location of the calculi. Asymptomatic, incidentally found small prostatic calculi may not require intervention.

Diagnosis and management of prostatic calculi, which may include watchful waiting, medical management of associated symptoms, or minimally invasive procedures for stone removal.

In simple words: Prostate stones.

Presence of one or more calculi (stones) within the prostate gland.

Example 1: A 60-year-old male presents with recurrent urinary tract infections. Imaging reveals prostatic calculi., A 55-year-old male undergoing a transrectal ultrasound of the prostate is found incidentally to have small prostatic stones without any associated symptoms., A 70-year-old male with benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms undergoes further evaluation, showing large prostatic calculi contributing to his symptoms.

Documentation should include evidence of prostatic calculi, such as imaging reports (transrectal ultrasound, CT scan, MRI), and any associated signs or symptoms like urinary tract infections, pain, or obstructive voiding symptoms.The size, number, and location of the stones should be noted.
