The CPT code for the excision of a malignant lesion depends on the size and location of the lesions. For a 2.5 cm malignant lesion of the lip, you would typically use 14040 (excision, malignant lesion, lip). For the two malignant lesions on the chest, you would use codes such as 11602 (excision, malignant lesion, chest, excised diameter of 1.1 cm to 2.0 cm) or 11603 (excised diameter of 2.1 cm to 3.0 cm), depending on their sizes. Accurate coding may require specific details about the lesions and excised margins.
