He's proposing CPT codes 26145, 26145-59 and 26075. I'm having a hard time with this one because I think the correct CPT code is either 26118 or 26160.

A giant cell tumor is a rare, aggressive non-cancerous tumor. It usually develops near a joint at the end of the bone. Most occur in the long bones of the legs and arms. Giant cell tumors most often occur in young adults when skeletal bone growth is complete. The exact cause of giant cell tumors remains unknown.
9: Disorder of bone, unspecified.
Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is characterized by diffuse proliferation of synovial-like cells and multinucleated giant cells along tendon sheaths. This benign tumor typically presents in the third to fourth decade of life and is exceeding rare in children.

Also known as bone lesions or osteolytic lesions, lytic lesions are spots of bone damage that result from cancerous plasma cells building up in your bone marrow. Your bones can't break down and regrow (your doctor may call this remodel) as they should.
We conclude that malignant tenosynovial giant cell tumors are highly aggressive sarcomas with significant potential for locally destructive growth, distant metastases, and death from disease.
Most giant cell tumors occur at the ends of the long bones of the arms and legs, near a joint (such as the knee, wrist, hip, or shoulder). Most are benign (not cancer) but some are malignant (cancer).
Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath often do not cause pain at first. As the tumor grows larger, symptoms may include the following: Lump at the tumor site. Swelling and pain.

Ewing sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that affects bones or the tissue around bones. It mainly affects children and young people, but is also seen in adults. It's more common in males than females.
Patients diagnosed with bone metastases were identified using a diagnostic code (ICD-10 code for bone metastasis: C795).
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...

Also called osteoclastoma. Primary malignant giant cell tumor of bone: a high grade sarcoma arising in a giant cell tumor of bone at initial diagnosis (uncommon) Secondary malignant giant cell tumor of bone: a high grade sarcoma arising at the site of a treated giant cell tumor of bone after surgery or low dose radiation therapy ...
Chondroblastoma: occurs in epiphysis (like giant cell tumor of bone) but consists of pavement-like sheets of uniform round polygonal cells with well defined cell membranes, nuclei with longitudinal grooves and (often) pericellular "chicken wire-like" calcification; may have scattered giant cells in lesion.
Definition / general. Benign but locally aggressive primary bone neoplasm composed of mononuclear round to spindle cells with numerous evenly dispersed osteoclast-like giant cells. Not the same tumor as giant cell lesion of the small bones.
Other bones (proximal sacrum, vertebrae, skull base ) may be involved, and any bone may be affected. > 95% are unifocal. Uncommon in hands / feet (more likely to be giant cell lesion of the small bones), jaw (more likely to be central giant cell granuloma )
Numerous osteoclast-like giant cells uniformly distributed throughout tumor; many giant cells are larger than normal osteoclasts with numerous (> 50) nuclei; some areas may have a paucity of giant cells
Benign fibrous histiocytoma: likely a heterogenous group of lesions; many lesions morphologically resembling benign fibrous histiocytoma in the epiphysis of skeletally mature individuals truly represent giant cell tumor of bone with regressive changes.
