Is 42999 the only code we can use to report the removal of a Thornwaldt/Tornwaldt cyst?

In the past we have used the 42999 code with success for Thornwaldt cyst excision. I think this code best describes procedure as there is no nasopharynx excision codes. Good luck.

Is 42999 the only code we can use to report the removal of a Thornwaldt/Tornwaldt cyst?

Can you please tell me what CPT code would 42999 be compatible too?
