Physician palpated the mass, cleansed the area with Betadine solution, and inserted a 22-gauge needle into the solid mass. Approximately 1 cc of tissue was removed. The needle was withdrawn, and a small bandage was placed over the insertion area. 10009 For code 10009, go to CPT index main term Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy, subterm Lesion, and qualifier with CT Guidance.
