Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old woman with a recent diagnosis of left-sided invasive breast carcinoma is admitted for staging and definitive surgical management after preoperative workup shows clustered suspicious lymph nodes in the left axilla. The surgical team performs an open resection to remove all identifiable left axillary lymphatic tissue for pathological staging and to achieve local control. Typical codes: 07T60ZZ
A 45-year-old patient with recurrent left axillary lymphadenopathy causing pain and impaired arm mobility after multiple prior needle biopsies is scheduled for a minimally invasive removal of the entire affected left axillary lymphatic tissue to relieve symptoms and obtain therapeutic pathology. Because the procedure is performed endoscopically through small percutaneous incisions, a percutaneous endoscopic approach code applies. Typical codes: 07T64ZZ
An elderly patient presents emergently with a rapidly enlarging, infected mass in the left axilla that is unresponsive to antibiotics and is causing systemic signs of sepsis; inpatient management includes urgent surgical resection of all left axillary lymphatic tissue involved to control the source of infection. The operation is performed via an open approach due to the need for wide exposure and debridement. Typical codes: 07T60ZZ
