I'm trying to determine the appropriate ICD-10 code for a patient who has had a lumpectomy. There only seems to be ICD-10-CM Z-codes for Acquired Absence of Breasts, which would seem to imply removal of the entire breast. How would you code this for a patient who has had a lumpectomy? Or a partial mastectomy? A few other organ removal codes specify removal of "parts of" an organ, but not of the breast or breast tissue. Any help on this, or if someone could point me in the direction of a useful guideline for this, I would super appreciate it.
