If the discharge was put into a cell block it is 88305 for the gross and microscopic exam and subsequent diagnosis. This is a CPT-designated specimen, Cell block, any source.

If it's examined as a cytology specimen it is a different code but I don't have my CPT book handy. I'll look it up later and get back to you.

Sorry to take so long.
