What would be the appropriate ICD9 code for the following diagnosis reported on a pathology report:

Cervix biopsy
-High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL),
(moderate to severe squamous dysplasia; CIN 2-3)

Being that it is "moderate TO severe" makes me think they are unsure if it truly is severe, in which I believe 622.12 would be appropriate, but I am not confident in that diagnosis code because I would think the patient would be treated for "severe" dysplasia due to the pathology findings.

Any thoughts are welcome!
