excision of benign lesion on breast (mole)

When you do any kind of excision of lesion on the breast is it best to use the
excision codes of trunk/ or use the codes for the breast area 19100 -19307.

Our Dr says it should always be a breast code if he does anything the the area
of the breast.

Thanks

If the lesion is from the skin of the breast, use one of the 11400 codes. If the lesion is from the actual breast tissue, then 19120 would be appropriate.
