Pelvic masses can be difficult to sort out. I agree that the pathology report is needed to really identify how to code. If you can have your physician review the codes 49203-49205 it may help to identify a procedure that may be appropriate for the service is performed. These codes describe the excision or destruction, open, of indtra-abdominal cysts, tumors or endometriomas. And size matters 
so the physician can get credit for the work done when a mass has severely compromised the anatomy.
