Wiki ICD-9 for debris in ear

Create Wiki
It's my understanding that it's coming from in the ear and not from the outside. I always thought of a foreign body as something that's not supposed to be there that's introduced from outside of the body. Any thoughts?
 
It says he removed debris under the microscope. The diagnosis listed is 380.10 for otitis externa, but I'm not showing that 380.10 is an acceptable diagnosis for the microscope 92504.
 
That is inflammation of the outer ear do they have an ear infection? Is he removing pus and other things caused by the infection?

That is true that foriegn body enters into, but in your first statement you just said debris in ear. Debris can originate outside the body as well as inside.
