Study Notes
Diagnosis and Codes
- Suspicious lesions diagnosed uncertain are reported with code D48.5.
- Melanin is located in the basal layer of the epidermis.
- Treatment for melanoma in-situ of the left upper arm is coded D03.62.
- Actinic keratosis treatment involves multiple destruction codes: L57.0, 17000, and 17003 x 11.
Surgical Procedures
- Treatment for basal cell carcinoma with cryosurgery involves reporting codes 17273 and 17281-51.
- Excision of seborrheic keratosis on the axilla involves codes 11400 and L82.1.
- A radical mastectomy with TRAM flap reconstruction is reported with 19368-LT and 19306-51-LT.
Coding Modifiers

Additional Information
- The Table of Neoplasms in ICD-10-CM consists of six categories: Malignant Primary, Malignant Secondary, Ca in situ, Benign, Uncertain Behavior, and Unspecified Behavior.
- A chemical burn, classified as corrosion, pertains to chemical-induced injuries.
These points encapsulate essential information about diagnosis codes, surgical procedures, CPT® codes, and treatment specifics relevant for AAPC Chapter 7 review examinations.
