What is the actual diagnosis do you go by
the operative report says post operative dx or the path dx.
The reason why I ASK , sometimes the doc would state mass excsion -which is usually a code on a benign code - ex 216.9, but when path report comes back its a 706.2 sebaceous cyst. Which one do you tend to follow .

A mass is not a benign code unless path says it is benign. I would always go by the path.
