If the lump is in a delicate place, or there is a strong probability of cancer, the entire lump would be removed without a biopsy being collected first.

What is the recovery time after having a breast cyst removed?
The recovery time following a lumpectomy (I am assuming that you are speaking of a lumpectomy because that is the medical term for "breast cyst removal") can vary because the type of lumpectomy varies. For a simple lumpectomy, the procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, and you go home the same day, and recovery from the entire procedure in a few days. The surgical site will heal within a month, barring any complications such as infection of course. Some cysts are cancerous, and some are not. (benign=not cancerous, malignant=cancerous) The removal of a cancerous lump is more involved, and therefore the surgery is more involved, since the "margins" (edges surrounding the lump) have to be taken out, and with the benign lump, surgeons only need to remove the lump without worrying about margins. Other factors that would determine how long it takes to recovery would be a person's age, general state of health, and other medical issues.
What is the icd 9 code for needle biopsy of chest?
The ICD-9 procedure code for "chest wall biopsy" is 34.23. That is the closest to needle biopsy of chest that ICD-9 gets. Biopsies are first coded according to anatomical site and the method (needle, punch, aspirate, etc.) would be indicated by a further code from the CPT (Common Procedural Terminology) manual published by the AMA. In the case of needle biopsy of chest (34.23) there is one CPT code (they are 5 digit codes) for percutaneous needle for muscle (20206) that it "crosswalks" to. There are other codes that also "crosswalk" to that procedure code; such as deep or superficial muscle biopsy or biopsy of the neck or thorax. There are internal organs that can be needle biopsied from the chest but they would have to be known to answer the question. Your question would have to have more information to answer correctly or maybe this answers it. Tell me if it helps.
