Wiki need help with multiple lipomas CPT code

[coder25]

Hello,

Doctor performed excision of three lipomas of the right thigh and three lipomas of the left thigh as well as a lipoma of the left flank and lower back. These were all separate incisions.

For the thighs, would I use code 27618 (leg/ankle joint). It is only for lower leg. I could not find anything for thigh or would I just use 11403 with 51 modifers?

Thanks for the help.
