Wiki Mild Cytologic Atypia

[aarnold13]

I had a pathology report come back with an interpretation of "Junctional Navus with Mild Cytologic atypia and architechural disorder"

I have never read an interpretation like this so I am not sure if this would be considered benign or malignant.

Any help is GREATLY appriciated!!

Thanks,
Angie

You would bill for a benign excision with dx code 238.2. Atypia is not malignant it is of unspecified behavior meaning it is boarder line malignant but not necessarily benign.
