Wiki integumentary vs musculoskeletal?

[BFAITHFUL]

Can you help with the following?

35 yr old with a recurrent sensation of cyst and a small skin swelling that is
posterior and inferior to a previously excised cyst on the right medial thigh.
This area is just next to the area of the previous scar.

An elliptical incision, come down through skin to and through the subcutaneous
tissues, and completely excise the old scar and the area of recurrent cyst. With
this done and taking this elliptical wedge all the way down to the subcutaneous
tissue, to the underlying superficial fascia, we excise it with cautery and stop
all oozing with cautery. The wound was now closed in layers using 3-0 vicryl
subcutaneous and then 4-0 Monocryl subcuticular

Thanks

any takers on this one? Im thinking musculoskeletal because it looks like the cyst/scar was in the subq/superficial fascia area, which is deeper than skin. I just like for someone else to confirm my way of thinking

My take is that its 27328.

There is a great reference from the CPT Assistant April 2010. "Integumentary vs. Musculeskeltal Lesion Removals"
