Hi Everyone
I have a case in which the patient came into the ER with severe right lower quad pain. They took the patient into surgery for appendectomy for "possible" appendicitis. The path report says "specimen is suggestive for acute appendicitis" I am torn between the following Dx codes and don't want to make an error. R10.31, K35.80, or I thought about Z03.89. Thank you for any help
