Our docs quite often use "right atrial mass" as their diagnosis when doing a TEE. Is there a better diagnosis code to use than 786.6? I think your best option would be 429.89 (Other ill-defined heart diseases; other) I also have used dx 212.7 for atrial mass.

ICD-9 guidelines specifically state, "The term 'mass,' unless otherwise stated, is not to be regarded as a neoplastic growth." So, I agree that your best option is to use 429.89. Happy coding! I would check the pathology report before I coded anything.
I would not use 212.7 (benign neoplasm of respiratory and intrathoracic organs; heart) for an atrial mass, especially since ICD-9 guidelines state that use of a neoplasm dx code should be confirmed by a pathology report. ICD-9 guidelines specifically state, "The term 'mass,' unless otherwise stated, is not to be regarded as a neoplastic growth."

Effacement of the sulci adjacent to the lesion is followed by partial or complete effacement of the adjacent ventricles. Effacement of the sulci and ventricles may extend across the whole hemisphere. This is followed by displacement of midline structures, and then effacement of the contralateral ventricles and sulci.
Mass effect can be caused by intracranial masses, haemorrhage, and oedema. The brain is a soft tissue structure located inside the cranial vault: a finite space confined by bones of the skull.
Surrounding cerebral oedema often worsens mass effect, and in the case of infarcts, which are not in themselves 'space-occupying', the mass effect is solely due to oedema.
As well as causing mass effect from one side to the other, an intracranial lesion may cause mass effect downwards into the posterior fossa. This may manifest as effacement of the basal cisterns.
