Wiki diagnosis help-benign villoglandular polyp

[annettebec]

benign villoglandular polyp, aphthous ulcerations of the transverse colon - Active chroniculcerative colitis. Would you assign 556.8 and 211.3 Thanks

556.8 is the correct one for this scenario. The noeplasm has no place here at this stage unless there was a mass found there. This is an inflammatory condition with hereditary / auto immune contributory factor.
So I would like to give only 556.8

I disagree a polyp is mentioned before the ulcerative colitis.
556.8 and 211.3 is IMO the correct answer with the information given.
