Wide Removal of Neck or Chest Wall Tumor

Vermont rates for HCPCS 21558

Removes a soft-tissue tumor from the neck or the front of the chest wall together with a surrounding cuff of healthy tissue, so nothing is left at the cut edges. Muscle and other nearby structures may have to come out with it. This is the aggressive removal used when a growth is, or may be, a sarcoma — not a simple shelling-out of a lump.
