Removal Of A Smaller Growth Under Shoulder Skin

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 23075

A small soft-tissue growth in the fat layer just under the skin of the shoulder region is cut out with a margin of normal tissue around it, and the wound is stitched. Because the growth is small and sits above the muscle, this is usually a short procedure done through a modest incision. The tissue is normally sent to a laboratory to be examined and checked for cancer.
