ICD-10-PCS Code For Lymphatic Right Axillary: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 07T5 includes procedures performed to resect lymphatic tissue in the right axillary region. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a complete removal of the specified right axillary lymphatic structure is performed, such as during oncologic or diagnostic lymphadenectomy. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 07T5 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a history of breast cancer presents with a clinically suspicious right axillary mass and biopsy-proven metastatic involvement of multiple axillary lymph nodes; the oncology team plans an inpatient, definitive surgical removal of the entire right axillary lymphatic tissue as part of oncologic management and staging. The procedure is performed through an open surgical approach to ensure complete resection and accurate pathological evaluation. Typical codes: 07T50ZZ
A middle-aged patient with a rapidly enlarging, symptomatic right axillary lymph node conglomerate causing pain, erythema, and impaired arm mobility after failed needle drainage and antibiotic therapy is admitted for urgent surgical management; the goal is complete removal of the affected right axillary lymphatic tissue to control infection and prevent further morbidity. Because extensive exposure is needed to safely excise the involved lymphatic tissue, an open resection is performed in the inpatient setting. Typical codes: 07T50ZZ
A patient undergoing diagnostic workup for an unknown primary malignancy has persistent PET-avid right axillary nodes despite prior percutaneous biopsy; the multidisciplinary team elects a minimally invasive endoscopic axillary lymphadenectomy to obtain complete node clearance and definitive pathology while minimizing surgical trauma, performed electively during an inpatient admission for monitoring. Typical codes: 07T54ZZ
