A lipoma typically feels like a soft, movable lump under the skin. It is usually painless and has a rubbery or doughy texture. Lipomas can vary in size, but they are generally slow-growing and can be easily shifted when pressure is applied. When palpated, they are distinct from surrounding tissues and do not usually cause any discomfort.

What is the cpt code for excision of 3.5 cm lipoma of thigh?

The CPT code for the excision of a lipoma is typically 11400 for excising a tumor that is 2.1 to 3 cm in size. However, since the lipoma in this case is 3.5 cm, you would use CPT code 11401, which is for excision of a benign skin lesion (like a lipoma) that is greater than 3 cm. Be sure to check for any additional codes if there are specific factors related to the procedure or location.

The filum terminale is a fibrous extension of the spinal cord that anchors it to the coccyx.
