Can anyone help with the dx for Paravertebral mass. The report states paraspinal region adjancent to T5 and T6 vertebral bodies. Its a homogenpus,hyperintense mass. :D
 
I'll give it a shot...

I tend to steer clear of the neoplasm table unless I have some tangible information. What about 733.90? If this doesn't work for you and you have information to support this, then maybe...239.2. Now, keep in mind that there is a note under this section. "Category 239 classifies by site neoplasms of unspecified morphology and behavior. The term "mass" unless otherwise stated, is not to be regarded as a neoplastic growth."

Hope this helps~
