The carcinoid tumors are usually located in the gastrointestinal tract and metastasize to the liver. Symptoms are caused by tumor secretion of serotonin, prostaglandins, and other biologically active substances. Cardiac manifestations constitute CARCINOID HEART DISEASE. 259.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 259.2 contains 23 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 259.3 Ectopic hormone secretion not elsewhere classified 259.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 259.3 contains 12 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 259.4 Dwarfism not elsewhere classified The condition of being undersized as a result of premature arrest of skeletal growth. It may be caused by insufficient secretion of growth hormone (DWARFISM, PITUITARY). 259.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 259.4 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 259.5 Androgen insensitivity syndrome 259.5 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 259.5 contains 14 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 259.8 Other specified endocrine disorders An autosomal recessive disorder that causes premature aging in adults, characterized by sclerodermal skin changes, cataracts, subcutaneous calcification, muscular atrophy, a tendency to diabetes mellitus, aged appearance of the face, baldness, and a high incidence of neoplastic disease. An abnormal congenital condition, associated with defects in the LAMIN TYPE A gene, which is characterized by premature aging in children, where all the changes of cell senescence occur. It is manifested by premature greying; hair loss; hearing loss (DEAFNESS); cataracts (CATARACT); ARTHRITIS; OSTEOPOROSIS; DIABETES MELLITUS; atrophy of subcutaneous fat; skeletal hypoplasia; elevated urinary HYALURONIC ACID; and accelerated ATHEROSCLEROSIS. Many affected individuals develop malignant tumors, especially SARCOMA. Werner Syndrome (WS) is an inherited disease characterized by an early onset of atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, and cancers of non-epithelial cell origin. Cultured cells from WS patients also present a shortened replicative lifespan and increased genetic instability. The genomic instability of WS cells is manifested at the cytogenetic level in the form of chromosome breaks and translocations, and at the molecular level predominately by multiple, large DNA deletions.

Chem., 273 259.8 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 259.8 contains 42 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 259.9 Unspecified endocrine disorder Pathological processes of the ENDOCRINE GLANDS, and diseases resulting from abnormal level of available HORMONES. 259.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 259.9 contains 18 index entries
