Ganglion, right shoulder

This code signifies a ganglion cyst located specifically on the right shoulder. A ganglion is a non-cancerous, fluid-filled sac that typically forms on tendons or joints, often presenting as a palpable lump.

Apply this code when documentation clearly identifies a ganglion cyst affecting the patient's right shoulder. This diagnosis is typically supported by physical examination findings, imaging (e.g., ultrasound, MRI), and sometimes aspiration of the cyst fluid.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right shoulder" to support this specific code.
• Do not confuse with other soft tissue masses or cysts; documentation must confirm "ganglion."
• Consider additional codes for associated symptoms (e.g., pain, restricted movement) if documented.
