ICD-10-CMPuncture wound without foreign body of unspecified breast, initial encounter
This code signifies a penetrating injury to the breast caused by a sharp object, such as a needle or thorn, that does not leave behind any foreign material. The injury is to an unspecified breast, meaning the documentation does not specify whether it's the left or right.
Apply this code when a patient presents with a puncture wound to the breast, and the provider explicitly states that no foreign body is present. This is appropriate for the initial visit for treatment of the injury.
