Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old woman with a history of breast carcinoma presents with a painful, enlarging left axillary mass and signs of local infection and necrosis after prior radiation and node dissection; inpatient admission is required for surgical management and control of sepsis risk. Destruction of residual diseased left axillary lymphatic tissue is performed to eradicate necrotic nodal tissue and control local source of infection. Typical codes: 07560ZZ
A 45-year-old female with recurrent metastatic melanoma to left axillary lymph nodes is scheduled for a planned, image-guided percutaneous ablation as part of multimodal therapy to destroy targeted nodal tissue while avoiding wide surgical dissection; she is admitted for the procedure and observation. A percutaneous destructive technique is used to ablate involved left axillary lymphatic tissue for local disease control. Typical codes: 07563ZZ
A 70-year-old patient with prior left axillary lymph node biopsy and persistent symptomatic lymphocele with recurrent fluid collection undergoes percutaneous endoscopic-guided destruction of residual lymphatic channels to obliterate the leaking lymphatic tissue and prevent recurrence; inpatient stay is for the procedure and postoperative monitoring. The procedure uses a percutaneous endoscopic approach to destroy left axillary lymphatic tissue responsible for the lymphocele. Typical codes: 07564ZZ
