Patient complains of painful & growing lump on back of his neck measureing 1.5 cm.Procedure-area injected w/lidocaine.Small incision made over the top.Wound edges seperated, cyst in its entirety taken out and another small broken cyst behind it. I was able to excise the cyst from the walls of the wound. Wound edges brought together with prolene suture. Djagnosis is abscess/sebaceous cyst. Would this be coded as an I&D or excision of lesion.
Thanks.
