Hello all,
I am not sure how to code this path report and need some help.
1) Abdominal wall debridement: Inflamed granulation tissue and underlying dense fibrosis with hemosiderin deposition and fat necrosis; no malignancy seen. ICD 9 code? I found 701.5 for the granulation tissue...is this correct???
2) Peritoneum excision: Superficially ulcerated and inflamed dense fibroadipose tissue and underlying skeletal muscle with mild perivascular acute inflammation; no malignancy seen. ICD 9 code?
Thanks for your help!
