Can I get other opinions for dx code for brain mass?

Thanks for any help.
 
Hey :)

As per ICD 9 CM, Index of Diseases, Mass => Specified organ NEC -- See Disease of specified organ or site => Disease => Brain => 348.9 (Unspecified condition of brain).

B'coz 784.2 is Swelling, mass, or lump in head and neck (Space-occupying lesion, intracranial: Within the cranium NOS). So I think for brain mass 348.9 is appropriate to code.

Hope this helps!!!
