Coding Complex Renal Cysts
If a patient has an US performed for a renal cyst, and the impression comment states "complex renal cyst" and does not say whether it's congenital our acquired, which code would we use for this? Do we go to 753 series or 593 series? The patient is 64 years old.

re: Coding Complex Renal Cysts
These could be benign or malignant. 593.89 with no additional information. Physician should be specific to this rare condition.
