I am having trouble understanding and hoping someone can help clarify. I am a newish coder and I'm working through some practice materials. I have gotten this one incorrect a couple of times now. The operative notes state "excision of breast mass". I want to code as lumpectomy but the correct answer is excision of breast lesion. How can I help myself recognize the difference in the future. I am really confused by this and I'm sure it's an easy answer.
Thanks!
