Is the following reported with 10035 or C9728?

"TECHNIQUE AND FINDINGS: The patient was brought to the procedure suite, placed in the prone position, and a timeout was performed. Preliminary ultrasound was then performed, demonstrating the target hypoechoic right leg mass. A safe posterior needle entry pathway was selected, and the overlying skin was marked. The site was then prepped and draped in standard sterile fashion. Subsequently, after administering 1% lidocaine as local anesthesia, a 20 gauge 5 cm introducer needle was advanced through the posterior soft tissues into the target lesion under ultrasound guidance. A 15 cm localization wire was then advanced through the needle into the lesion. This was confirmed both on ultrasound and CT. Follow-up ultrasound imaging demonstrated no evidence of hematoma or other complication. The patient tolerated the procedure well without any complication and was transferred to the recovery area in stable condition.

IMPRESSION: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous right leg mass fiducial marker placement."
