Need more info....Path? Mass removed within the subq tissue...I would look in the musculoskeletal section

This is where I GET confused. Even IF path report comes out as a cyst.706.2 and the doctor did subcutaneous such as 21555, chest wall I STILL CODE IT AS 21555 AND THEN 706.2 AS DX, . confused,
