I am looking to code for Atrial Myxoma and cannot locate an accurate dx code. Any suggestions?????

A myxoma is a benign neoplasm (tumor) of the heart, so I would use 212.7. Here is a link to Medline Plus which gives a good definition http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007273.htm

Thanks. That is what my first thought was, however; I saw a previous thread on here about the same thing and they had other codes, so I just wanted to make sure.
