I've researched and researched and just get mixed information.
We have to code path results, if positive. How would this be coded - benign lymphoid pseudopolyp of the colon. Also, maybe because it's so many years later - I can't find a pseudopolyposis code in ICD-10 2018 (there is an old thread in these forums that says use pseudopolyposis)...there's a K51.40 inflammatory polyps of the colon, but based on my diagnosis - it doesn't sound inflammatory so I'm leery of using that. Is it a benign neoplasm of colon?
Thanks.
