Cutting Out The Largest Facial Skin Cancers

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 11646

Cuts out a cancerous skin growth together with a rim of normal skin from the face, ear, eyelid, nose or lip, and closes the resulting wound. This is the version used for the widest growths treated this way, so more skin is removed and closing the wound can be a substantial part of the operation. The tissue is examined afterwards to confirm the growth was fully removed.
