This may be a silly question, but it has been gnawing at me and I finally remembered to post it. :p
Imagine, if you will, a provider states the patient has a lump/mass/cyst/lesion/whatever in the right/left breast, and the aforementioned whatever is, of course, in the 3-, 6-, 9-, or 12-o’clock position.

Can you code the quadrant (and, if so, how do you choose) or can you only code laterality?
Thanx!
