D35: Benign neoplasm of other and unspecified endocrine glands
Benign neoplasms of other and unspecified endocrine glands are non-cancerous growths occurring in the endocrine system, which is a network of glands that secrete hormones in your body. These benign, or harmless, tumors can arise in any gland of the system, which includes the pituitary gland, pineal gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid, parathyroid, hypothalamus, and adrenal glands. While benign, these neoplasms can still cause symptoms by placing pressure on surrounding tissues or interfering with normal hormonal regulation. Symptoms can vary widely depending on which gland is affected and may mimic other conditions. Progression of the disease can lead to hormonal imbalances and related disorders. The exact cause of these benign neoplasms is generally unknown, and they are not contagious. Diagnosis typically involves medical imaging or biopsies and blood tests to check hormone levels.
