## Rating criteria

No itemised criteria have been extracted for this code. Use the official source.

# Benign Endocrine System Tumor (VA Diagnostic Code 7915)

**Rating benign neoplasms of the endocrine system based on the effects they leave behind.**

## What This Condition Is

Diagnostic Code **7915** covers a **benign (non-cancerous) neoplasm affecting any specified part of the endocrine system**. The endocrine system includes the glands that produce and regulate hormones in the body.

This diagnostic code falls under **§ 4.119**, the section of VA regulations covering the endocrine system.

## How the VA Rates It

For this condition, there is no separate rating percentage assigned to the benign tumor itself. Instead, the VA instructs that it be **rated as residuals of endocrine dysfunction** — meaning the rating is based on the lasting effects and symptoms related to endocrine (hormonal) function.

## What the VA Looks For

When evaluating a claim under Diagnostic Code 7915, the VA looks at:

- **Confirmation of a benign neoplasm** in a specified part of the endocrine system.
- **The residual endocrine dysfunction** that results from the condition. Because the criteria direct that it be rated as residuals of endocrine dysfunction, the focus is on how the underlying hormonal function is affected rather than on the tumor alone.
