The patient is here because the cyst in her chest has come to a head and is still painful even though she has been on antibiotic

s for a week. I offered to drain it for her. After obtaining consent, we infiltrated the area with 1 cc of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine, prepped the area with Betadine and incised and opened the cyst in the relaxed skin tension lines of her chest, and removed the cystic material. There was no obvious purulence. We are going to have her clean this with a Q-tip. We will let it heal on its own and eventually excise it. I will have her come back a week from Tuesday to reschedule surgery. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?

Answer:

1. CPT Code 10060: Incision and drainage of abscesses (anthrax, suppurative hydradenitis, skin or subcutaneous abscess, cyst, boil or paronychia).

2.ICD L729: follicular cyst of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified: market size, prevalence, incidence, quality results, the best hospitals and doctors.

Explanation:

1.In the incision of the abscess and its drainage the skin is opened and the pus is drained. An abscess is defined as an accumulation of pus in a wound that becomes inflamed, hot, and swollen. It is produced by bacteria. An abscess requires opening and draining if it is delimited in soft tissues, such as in the thigh.

2. An epidermal cyst is a circular and firm lesion that is located intradermally or subcutaneously. It is the most frequent of cutaneous cysts. Their size ranges between 0.5 and 5 cm and they have an opening where the contents of the cyst can be drained.

Which consequence is most likely when abstaining from sex as a teen
Feliz [49]

Answer:

I would say that the consequence of abstaining and not having sex as a teenager would be that someone who abstains does not end up prematurely pregnant or exposed to STI's and STD's from sexual partners, seeing as they have none. This also allows a person to mentally mature and become an adult before that becomes a concern.
