If you have a patient that has 2 known masses of the same breast, would you code each of them separately. for instance; patient has a mass at 11:00, showing ductal carcinoma, and also has a mass at 5:00 which show ductal carcinoma. Would you consider this overlapping as it states in the ICD9 book under 1748?
the tip states only for bilateral breast to code separatley for 2 different sites. This patient has 2 sites of same breast..
Thanks Kristen
