763.5 is a code for a mother during labor and delivery
V51.0 Is for reconstruction after mastectomy
173.5 is for malignancy of the skin
198.81 is for metastatic neoplasm to the breast
None of the above dx codes are going to pare with a mastectomy procedure except for possibly the 198.81
We still need to know the type of mastectomy to be able to give a response radical, partial etc.
