Wiki HELP! Granuloma code

[RobynKing]

I have come across this in my coding. I have tried coding the granuloma but it comes out to the jaw only. There is nothing that I can find to code to the soft tissue of the elbow. Any help would be gratefully accepted. Thank you in advance!

DIAGNOSIS:
Soft Tissue, Right Elbow, Focal Excisional Biopsy - Fibroconnective tissue with chronic inflammation and multinucleated giant cell granuloma. GMS staining for fungus and AFB staining for microbacteria results are negative. No neoplasm identified within the specimen.

There aren't a lot of choices for these sorts of soft tissue diagnoses. For this I would use 729.99 unless someone else has something more specific.

Thank you very much. That is what I used. I appreciate your help.
