Wiki 52234 for Urethra Tumor?

[caromissunc1]

Surgeon performed a cystourethroscopy. The bladder was observed to be normal with no cancer noted. However, there was a lesion noted in the urethra. The doctor resected this and the 1.5 cm specimen came back as cancer. Can I code a 52234 for a urethral tumor?

Your good in your code selection.

If you look at the top of the page where you find CPT 52234, you'll see Urethra and Bladder.
