When using the E D & C codes 17260-17286. Are they only reported by lesion size or what they are destructed or curretted down to. I know the cpt book says lesion diameter but I was curious as to how other people coded these. Example is lesion sz may be .8 cm and the physician states currette to a 1cm defect. Do I code the defect or just the size of the lesion.

Thanks,
