Not sure what to do with this, can anyone help. this is actual final dx for pathology.
Right axilla lesion, excision:
seborrheic keratosis with Borst-Jadassohn phenomenon (1)
The lesion is completely excised.

I don't know if this helps, but I looked it up and it says to look up Neoplasm, Skin benign. For the axilla area this would be 216.5.

Borst-Jadassohn phenomenon

From my understanding, the addition of Borst-Jadassohn phenomenon is just a descriptor of the SK as "irritated". It shouldn't need a second code.
