CPT code 12011 refers to the excision of a skin lesion, specifically for lesions that are located on the face, ears, eyelids, scalp, neck, hands, feet, and genitalia, measuring between 2.1 to 3.0 cm in diameter. This procedure involves the surgical removal of the lesion along with some surrounding tissue and is typically used for biopsy or treatment purposes. It is important for healthcare providers to document the size and location of the lesion accurately for proper coding and billing.
A lesion on the neck can be caused by various factors, including infections (such as bacterial or viral), skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis), benign growths (such as cysts or lipomas), or malignant tumors. Other potential causes include trauma, allergic reactions, or inflammation. It's essential to evaluate the lesion's characteristics and consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Benign tumors are usually moveable. The most common benign tumors found in adults are located in the neck region. They are called lipomas and are round.
