Which code would you use for a left axillary mass? R22.32 or R22.2
Thank you to anyone who can answer for me. I am getting two different codes from two different coders.

For a mass of the axilla I'd lean towards R22.2 for the trunk, rather than R22.32 for the arm. If the mass were to be considered a neoplasm, the table also directs you to see trunk (not arm) when you look up axilla. I hope that helps!
