My doctor was doing a robotic laparoscopic prostatectomy and came across these chondromas and decided he need to remove these before he could continue with the prostatectomy.
I then went to the anterior abdominal wall and brought down the medial umbilical ligaments and the urachus and dissected down to the endopelvic fascia. There were significant what appeared to be chondromas growing off of the symphysis pubis. They were mobile. I did take small samples and sent this for a frozen to verify that it was not prostate cancer as it was not terribly fixed, but somewhat soft and firm and adherent to they symphysis area.
Any idea of what CPT code I would use for this, or would this be included in prostatectomy?
