Hi Guest!

If the procedure were performed separately, then yes you can. Or do you mean that the lesion/cyst was sent to a pathology lab after if was removed? The ICD code will typically be listed on the path lab report, but otherwise here are some coding options:

D10.39 - Benign neoplasm of other parts of mouth
K09.0 - Developmental odontogenic cysts
K09.1 - Developmental (nonodontogenic) cysts of oral region
K09.8 - Other cysts of oral region, not elsewhere classified

Hope this helps!

can be crosscoded to:
21030 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of maxilla or zygoma by enucleation and curettage
21040 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible, by enucleation and/or curettage
21046 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible; requiring intra-oral osteotomy (eg, locally aggressive or destructive lesion[s])
21047 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible; requiring extra-oral osteotomy and partial mandibulectomy (eg, locally aggressive or destructive lesion[s])
41825 - Excision of lesion or tumor, dentoalveolar structures; without repair
