Working at home as a Medical Coder came across chart needing help coding thanks in advance. Michael.james927
The patient is a 40-year-old female with known carcinoma of the right breast with widespread pulmonary and bony metastases. She has completed a course of outpatient chemotherapy and is scheduled for radiation treatment of the metastases. Initially, the patient was treated with a right mastectomy. The patient is now admitted with a lump in the left breast. The patient has decided to have a left mastectomy. The patient was taken to surgery and a left simple mastectomy was performed. Pathology report revealed benign fibroadenoma.
What would be the appropriates code(s)?
