There are no codes in the vulvar excision section for a cyst removal (other than Bartholin's) and this cyst was of the labia so that rules out the vaginal cyst excision code of 57135.

Skin Lesion Excision: Documentation Quick Tips. When performing excision of benign (11400-11471) or malignant (11600-11646) skin lesions, physicians must document the location of the lesion, and should measure the lesion and margins prior to excision. The lesion will âshrinkâ when the incision releases the tension on the skin, which may lead to a lower-level code selection and lost reimbursement.
