A mediastinal tumor develops in the space between the lungs. Some are harmless while others may affect breathing or nearby organs. Early diagnosis is important because timely treatment can prevent complications and provide better long term outcomes.
The CPT code for excision of a mediastinal tumor typically falls under the range of 39201 to 39240, depending on the specific procedure and complexity. For example, the code 39220 is often used for excision of a mediastinal tumor via thoracotomy. It’s essential to consult the latest CPT coding guidelines or a coding specialist for the most accurate and appropriate code based on the specific details of the procedure.

There are a number of enlarged lymph nodes noted in the center of the chest cavity.
The Mediastinal Nodes are lymph nodes located in the center of the chest. The Superior Mediastinal Nodes are adjacent to the Trachea and Esophagus. The Inferior Mediastinal Nodes lie between the lower lobes of the Lungs.
When a tumor is benign, it means that it does not have the ability to invade the other cells in the body. Moles and warts are examples of such tumors.
The size of the tumor is less important than whether or not it is benign or malignant. A 6cm tumor in the colon can cause obstruction however regardless of whether or not it is benign or malignant.
