Wiki Physician dictation dx/pathology report

[Mrshonda11]

Pathology report states that tissue sample could be any of several different cancers but probably pancreatic, biliary or gastrointestinal. Physician's dictation states patient has pancreatic cancer. Is it ok for me to code the physician's diagnosis?

Yes, you should go with the physician diagnosis.
