The physician evaluates a 68-year-old new patient who was admitted to Observation status earlier today. According to the family, the patient complained about headaches and blurred vision last week and then became confused and disoriented two days ago. The physician performed a comprehensive history and exam, at which time he noted decreased response to light in one eye and BP of 220/100, but the family denied any previously known or treated hypertension. Suspicious for increased intracranial pressure, medical decision making is listed as high complexity. The patient had a CT scan of the brain without contrast which was positive for brain lesions. An A-scan bilateral ophthalmology biometry was then performed, and the patient was sent to the radiology department for simple therapeutic radiology treatment planning. Assign the correct codes as required, including modifiers and/or multipliers.

MEDICAL CODING: Please help me code this case study starting with the first listed/principal diagnosis. Thank you. Clinical Impression: History of breast cancer, rule out metastatic. Gross Description: Received in formalin labeled "left neck lymph node," consists of multiple tan-pink to light brown soft tissue that measures approximately 1.2 x 0.8 x 0.3 cm. The entire specimen is submitted in (A1). Final Diagnosis: Specimen designated "left neck lymph node" biopsy. Metastatic poorly differentiated carcinoma consistent with primary breast origin. The specimen consists of multiple cores of lymph node that showed extensive infiltration by poorly differentiated malignant neoplasm. The malignant cells are arranged in the form of cords, nests, and groups of highly atypical cells with enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei. These findings support the morphologic evidence of poorly differentiated metastatic carcinoma with features consistent with invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast.
