Keyhole Chest Biopsy of a Hazy Area of Lung

Vermont rates for HCPCS 32607

A camera is passed through a small incision between the ribs into the chest, and tissue samples are taken from a diffuse hazy area of lung on one side. It is used when scans show widespread shadowing rather than a discrete lump, and the cause, whether infection, inflammation, or scarring, has to be identified. Taking tissue directly gives a far more reliable answer than a needle sample.
