How are we supposed to code brain tumors (or any tumor) that is not yet diagnosed, but is quite likely cancer. For example, I am trying to code a patient that has a newly found brain tumor on this admission that they are thinking is brain cancer vs an intracranial lymphoma. Is there a code I am missing for tumors that are NYD?
