What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
Inherited from the E20-E35 section Disorders of other endocrine glands (E20-E35)
Excludes1 - never coded here
- galactorrhea (N64.3)
- gynecomastia (N62)
