Summary
The provider destroys more than 100 neurofibromas of the trunk and extremities, which extend below the skin (subcutaneous). Neurofibromas are usually benign tumors of the fibrous tissue within the nerve that envelops the nerve fascicles (fibers). This code does not specify the technique for destroying the lesions, but the common techniques for destruction of skin lesions, other than excision, include laser and electrodesiccation.
