I have researched and can not find a CPT code for Resection of lipoma of the parapharyngeal space.
Lipoma was attached to external carotid artery, lingual artery, hypoglossal nerve, spinal accessory nerve & internal jugular vein. Tumor was dissected free in the pre-styloid compartment of the parapharyngeal space. Stylomandibular ligament was released to gain access to tumor.
The tumor was essentially contained within the pre-styloid compartment of the parapharyngeal space and was firmly attached to the skull base.
Any suggestions...
