Pre and postoperative Diagnosis: 2 x 3 cm Subcutaneous nodule right groin. Specimen measures 4 x 3 x 1 cm with a resultant 5 cm suture line.
An elliptical incision was made around the palpable mass and carried down through subcutaneous tissues. Mass was then sharply dissected free. Wound closed in layers with simepl interrupted sutures of 3-0 monocryl in the subcutaneous space and then skin closed with a running subcuticular suture of 4-0 vicryl and steri-strips.
Path report: Rt groin Epidermal inclusion cyst
Would I code this using Integ. or Muscle?
