Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A 62-year-old male with a history of chronic sun exposure presents to a dermatology clinic with a non-healing, irregular, erythematous papule on the left forearm that has increased in size and occasionally bleeds. The dermatology provider evaluates the lesion in clinic, documents history and exam, obtains informed consent, and performs a full-thickness excision of the suspicious skin lesion with local anesthesia. The procedure includes lesion removal with appropriate margins, hemostasis, and wound closure with layered suturing. Specimen is labeled and sent to pathology for histologic evaluation. Post-procedure, the patient receives wound care instructions and a plan for suture removal and pathology follow-up.
