Wiki CPT & dx codes help/clarification

[miani]

Hi. I was wondering if I can get some help/input. What would be the best CPT & ICD-9 code for an excision of a dermoid cyst in the medial brow area?

Would you use a dx code that refers to the orbital cyst?

For the CPT code, where would the removal/excision site be?

This is the only info. I have re: coding for this procedure.

Thank you.

Medial brow is not necessarily in the orbital area. When I look up cyst - dermoid in the ICD 9, it states see also neoplasm benign. When you look up neoplasm - skin- brow - benign you get 216.3.
