Deep Biopsy of Thigh or Knee Soft Tissue

Virginia rates for HCPCS 27324

Takes a sample of soft tissue from the thigh or the area around the knee from beneath the tough fibrous sheet covering the muscles — within or under the muscle layer rather than just under the skin. An incision is made and the surgeon works past nerves and vessels to reach the target. The tissue is sent to a laboratory to identify what the mass is.
