A scar is a type of lesion that represents the result of tissue healing after injury or inflammation. It occurs when the dermal layer of the skin is damaged, and the body produces fibrous tissue (collagen) to repair the wound. Scars can vary in appearance, texture, and color, and they may be classified as hypertrophic, atrophic, or keloid, depending on their characteristics. Overall, scars are a natural part of the healing process but can sometimes lead to cosmetic concerns.
Intralesional injections are put into a lesion or scar.

The icd-9 code vaginal lesion would depend on what type of lesion it is. If it were a lesion caused by disease, it would be coded V50.1. If it is cosmetic, such as a skin tag or wart, then it won't have a code.
I'm not sure if there's much of a difference. I complained of headaches in the left frontal lobe area and after having a CAT scan and MRI, I was told that there was some scar tissue (in my left frontal lobe); but that it was of no consequence and probably from an old injury...WHAT! I knew there was a problem with my brain (I've had it rattled a few times); but the doctors say "nothing to worry about"!!! Here's a couple of links, which are fairly ambiguous: http://www.webmd.com/brain/brain-lesions-causes-symptoms-treatments http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-scar-tissue.htm
