Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents with a rapidly enlarging, tender left cervical lymph node associated with fever and concern for an abscess or infected lymphadenitis unresponsive to antibiotics; the patient is admitted for surgical management to obtain tissue for diagnosis and source control when incision and drainage is not appropriate. An open excisional procedure is performed to remove the affected lymph node for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Typical codes: 07B20ZX, 07B20ZZ
A middle‑aged patient with a known head and neck malignancy undergoes a planned inpatient selective neck dissection targeting suspicious left cervical lymph nodes identified on imaging to determine staging and achieve oncologic control; the operation removes lymphatic tissue for pathologic evaluation. Because this is a scheduled excision of left neck lymphatic tissue during inpatient care, an open excision code from the group is used. Typical codes: 07B20ZZ, 07B20ZX
An immunocompromised patient with persistent, biopsy‑proven left neck lymphadenopathy has a percutaneous image‑guided excision of a deep-seated left cervical lymph node due to concern for atypical infection or lymphoma after prior outpatient biopsies were nondiagnostic; the procedure is performed inpatient for monitoring and potential complications. Typical codes: 07B23ZX, 07B23ZZ
