After adequate general anesthesia, the patient was prepped and draped in usual sterile fashion. I took a needle tip cautery and excised circumferentially around each lesion, and elevated them all and closed the closed the skin edges with 3-0 running chromic. These were sent to pathology separately.

PATH:
Lesion #1: 2.5x1.6x1.4 cm = condyloma acuminatum
Lesion #2: 1.8x0.9x0.7 cm = squamous cell carcinoma in situ


Question: should I code these with 2 cpt's (54060 - 078.11 and 11622 - 233.5) or only one - since 54060 says "lesion(S)". They are not bundled.
