biopsy of chest wall mass

what CPT® code would I use for a wedge biopsy of mass on chest wall. Not including
ribs. Pt has previous mastectomy. according to the picture he drew the mass is
inbetween the breasts. I was looking at 19101 but the Dr insists it is the chest wall not the breast.

21550 might be better.
