It is important to document the patient's signs and symptoms as well as the physician's physical findings.
For example, if a lesion is excised because of suspicion of malignancy (e.g., ICD-10-CM code D48.5), the Medical Record might include “increase in size” to support this diagnosis. “Increase in size” might also support the diagnosis of disturbance of skin sensation (R20.0-R20.3, R20.8).
