Question
When should I report code 88358, morhpometric analysis; tumor?
AMA Comment
Morphometry is the measurement of an organism's structure or parts. An example of code 88358 would be examination of stained sections with measurement of individual cell DNA for ploidy and S phase analysis. DNA analysis can also be done morphometrically.
