I have been unsuccessful in finding a code that will work for a Excisional Biopsy of left juglar chain lymph node.
A transverse incision was done 3 cm below the angle of the jaw. The external jugular was divided between ligature and the lymph nodes were dissected. Part of the mass was sent for frozen section. .
Facisa was approximated using 2-0 vicryl, subcutaneous tissure using 3-0 vicryle and skin using subcuticular 4-0 vicryle.
I was looking at 21555 but this is not soft tissue bx..then looking at 38510??
Any advice would be welcomed!!
Thanks so much!
