Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient is admitted for worsening localized pain and a palpable tender mass near the coccyx after months of progressive symptoms. Imaging suggests a discrete lesion within the coccygeal glomus without evidence of deep invasion; the team plans an open excisional procedure to remove the abnormal tissue for definitive diagnosis and symptom relief. An excision via open approach without replacement is performed to obtain tissue for pathology and alleviate pain. Typical codes: 0GBB0ZZ
An elderly patient presents to the emergency department with acute severe tailbone pain and focal bleeding after minor trauma; evaluation raises concern for a vascular lesion of the coccygeal glomus that requires rapid tissue removal for hemostasis and diagnosis. Given the need for immediate control and access, a percutaneous approach is used in the inpatient setting to excise the offending portion of the glomus. The procedure removes tissue without replacement to control bleeding and obtain pathology. Typical codes: 0GBB3ZZ
A younger adult with a history of prior percutaneous biopsy of a coccygeal glomus returns with persistent recurrent symptomatic tissue and inconclusive prior diagnostic sampling. The team elects a percutaneous endoscopic excision in the inpatient setting to achieve a more complete targeted removal and obtain adequate specimens for definitive histologic diagnosis. The operation excises part of the coccygeal glomus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach without replacement. Typical codes: 0GBB4ZZ
