I like seeing these- the research is fun. I have never come across choroidal melanoma. The book takes me to 190.6. It is metastatic to the shoulder. The instruction for metastasis 'of or from a site not of skin -see Neoplasm, by site, malignant, secondary. That would be 198.89. I checked out the * at the beginning of the Neoplasm table. That information does not apply to the melanoma.
Is my thought process ok here?
I appreciate the input. Thanks

The code selection is correct, unless there's something I'm missing. Let's see what others think.
190.6, 198.89
