Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with known metastatic melanoma to the left upper extremity presents with a painful, enlarging lymph node conglomerate in the left axilla unresponsive to systemic therapy; because the node mass is well circumscribed and complete removal is required for local control and symptom relief, an open resection of the involved left arm lymphatic tissue is performed during the inpatient admission. Typical codes: 07T40ZZ
A middle-aged woman with chronic lymphedema of the left arm after prior breast cancer treatment develops recurrent, infected lymphatic cysts and sentinel lymph node disease causing repeated cellulitis; after failed conservative management, a planned inpatient percutaneous endoscopic-assisted resection of the diseased lymphatic tissue in the left upper extremity is undertaken to remove the source of infection and improve lymphatic drainage. Typical codes: 07T44ZZ
A patient presents urgently with a rapidly enlarging, necrotic lymphatic mass in the left upper extremity causing sepsis and compromised arm function; the surgical team performs an emergent open resection of the entire affected lymphatic body part in the left arm to control infection and source control as part of inpatient surgical management. Typical codes: 07T40ZZ
