The patient's diagnosis reads:

FNA, Left thyroid nodule
Cytologic changes of benign colloid nodule with partial degenerative change.
41 year old female with 4+ cm solid mass left thyroid. Patient is 4 months pregnant.

Do I have enough information to code the dx as 648.10 Thyroid dysfunction complicating pregnancy, childbirth, or the pueperium?

or should I code it as a thyroid nodule and incidental pregnancy?
